Album Notes

A lyrical journey that takes audiences from the jasmine-tree-lined courtyards of Nizar Qabbani's Damascene homes, to the flooded riverbanks of Langston Hughes' Harlem Renaissance poems ... Layered upon a soulful sonic backdrop of beat production by the likes of Sandhill, Oddisee, & Offendum himself, this album is a testament to the idea of embracing that "middle-ground" of the bi-lingual immigrant experience ... SyrianamericanA is a Hip-Hop-Nation-State-of-Mind where everything is connected and everyone is welcome!

Amazing album
author: author30
                            
When it comes to Arab-American Hip hop, Omar Offendum is King. I love the way he remixes classics from old Arabic music like Abdel Halim Hafez's "Qariat Al-Finjan" with a new beat. His version of "Finjan" is amazing and the lyrics, which he translated into Arabic are both faithful to the original yet contemporary in his additions. Ramzi Salti, Ph.D. Stanford University

As others said Omar is nice on the mic. Very thoughtful in his lyrics but the music definitely does not bore. Great music and a great message! Anytime I want to feel good I just put this cd in and ride around.
