RABAH DONQUISHOOT (MBS) Algeria
RAYESS BEK Lebanon

Hosted by UK hip hop DJ MK (KISS FM), Lyrical Alliance will bring these international rappers together to dig deep into the roots of their art form to premiere brand new work.
The second half of the evening features major US artist Talib Kweli. Ever since emerging alongside Mos Def as a member of Black Star in the late 90s, Talib Kweli is one of the few artists making commercially viable music that matters. His socially conscious brand of rap counts Jay-Z and Fifty Cent amongst its biggest fans. His 6th album Ear Drum was released in May this year on his own label Blacksmith Music.
