Bored with those Yankee rappers? Then go east, young man.
Prominent American Muslim rappers Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def or Jurassic 5 are often asked about their beliefs and how these conflict with hip-hop. Orthodox Muslims, on the other hand, are generally suspicious of pop culture - especially of American hip-hop culture which often celebrates materialism and openly flaunts sexuality.
But in Western Africa, hip-hop and Islam aren't at odds with one another. Hip-hop is the major musical form among the young in West Africa, but precious little has been available in the West. Here, positive lyrics and Islamic slant go hand in hand with African instruments and rhythms, although both American and French influence loom large in the background.
The music is both raggedly beautiful and richly melodic, and when they go into a mix of R&B and rap they conjure up one of the hippest pieces of sacred music around. Some artists combine devoutness with social criticism, others criticize using religion to achieve political aims.
"Many Lessons" offers a new, different and young approach to Islam and its topics. Soulful and enticing, this is religion with plenty of invention and spicy surprises. Relish the flow and let the spirit move you. .

HipHop und Islam, das ist in Westafrika kein Widerspruch. Die Rap-Welle hat in den letzten Jahren auch Afrika überrollt. Und in muslimisch geprägten Ländern wie Mali oder dem Senegal setzen sich junge Rapper zwangsläufig mit der Rolle der Religion auseinander. Die einen verbinden muslimische Frömmigkeit mit sozialkritischen Botschaften. Andere kritisieren den Missbrauch der Religion zu politischen Zwecken. Es lassen sich viele Lehren ziehen.
