About the work

 

From the Middle East to the Mediterranean, Narħelwa will introduce you to the relentless force of Arabic and Maltese hip-hop.

A culturally rooted tapestry of unapologetic beats and lyrical intensity from the Arab world, which highlights identity and social justice. Blended with the unfiltered, gritty authenticity of the Maltese hip-hop scene, which speaks truth to power and exposes the corrupt.

Armed with a deep-seated passion for the roots of hip-hop culture as well as her own, she channels the spirit of rebellion and raw poetry.
