Narcy of Euphrates & Arab Summit Drops New Video to Fight Islamaphobia Called Hamdulillah

As the country continues to rage with Islamaphobia, our good friend Narcy better known as the Narcicyst of the groups Euphrates and Arab Summit comes hard with a new song and video called  ‘Hamdulillah‘ which means ‘to be grateful for what one has’.

Here’s how he describes the video…

The images of the past decades have cast a veil on our identity as a people. We, as international brothers and sisters, are now witness to injustice in real time. Our Wars are watched in HD. Injustice is now delivered in real time.

This video is a global collaborative effort by 10 photographers- from London to Lebanon, Cairo To Canada, Abu Dhabi to America- to create a portrait of the New Global Citizens. They are DJs, MCs, poets, architects, teachers, doctors, parents and children. Most of all they are people.

With the rise in Islamaphobia, we seek to show the world who we truly are as a people. Our faces and experiences speak for themselves. Our image is ours to shape. It has come time for us to grow. As a planet, as a people, as a family.

Peace Be Unto You,
Yassin, Ridwan & Shadia.

Below you have cuts from some of my favorites including Lowkey out of Britian, Narcy out of Montreal / Iraq, Clotaire K out of Lebanan/ France, Salome out of Iran and Dam out of Israel/ Palestine.. There are lots more to peep but we’ll start folks off with this batch..
