Politikal Heat's heartfelt music marinates with Arabic and Hihop lyrically and musically. Palestinian artists raised in San Francisco and Palestine, come together to create this unique, bilingual album. Kalamati and Hesham have put there producing, mixing, and rapping skills to the test and joined forces with T.i.G. (via Ramallah). The awaited album, "Intifaditna" will be released this summer, and T.i.G.'s and Kalamati's solo album's will follow later.
Big Up on the add my brothers, many blessings upon you all and your mission, inshallah you are able to bring to the forefront the voice of palestine. Salaam La Masryah
Your show in the quad today was awesome guys! You made me break character when I was playing dead. I laughed when you said "Everyone say Hi to the cops!" Haha.
