96 Miles From Bethlehem

Belly

Nineteen minutes of heavy, minimalist hip-hop documenting displacement and resilience. Sparse piano and field recordings meet a voice heavy with the weight of history.

Find on Amazon

A heavy, haunting dispatch from the heart of a crisis that trades club beats for raw truth.

A stark, unflinching meditation on displacement and survival that feels both ancient and urgently modern.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the atmospheric opening of Metal Birds into the sharp, urgent delivery of Blue Bags
The haunting use of traditional melodic fragments buried under the minimalist beat on Baroudeh
The way the final track, The Gift, The Curse, and The Fate, strips away almost all percussion to leave a raw, spoken-word weight
