The Philistines started thumping beats in their mothers' wombs. They came out rapping, and have been delivering hip-hop for the masses ever since.
The group formed when emcees B-Dub and Ragtop (Palestinian-American brothers who came up in East Tennessee) decided to stop messing around and put out an album. The result, the 17-track Self Defined, is an eclectic blend of beats and tight, conscious lyrics--inspired and informed by the harsh realities facing today's hip-hop community. Along for the ride are beatmestier B.Swisha and the Filipino Filistino, Flip (aka Cookie Jar).
Since the album dropped in October, 2003, the P has performed in shows and benefits from Guatemala to Jersey. The relocation of the group to L.A. and the addition of the infamous DJ Afterwords has sparked a slew of fresh tracks that continue the legacy begun in Self Defined. Strangely, when asked to comment on the album, Afterwords' only response is BUY THE D*MN THING!

In a time when all rap is fake and meaningless, it’s refreshing, to say the least, to hear sweet beats and lyrics that have a message. I hope the CD and the group gets its due recognition soon. Keep it up y’all… salam

Fantastic. Articulate lyrics set with a backdrop of fluid beats.

Articulate lyrics set with a backdrop of fluid beats. The debut album represents a new face to hip hop. With strong political undertones the Philistines bring a whole new issue into the hip-hop genre. I lost my virginity listening to this album. Major props to da fellas and big Nizzy.
