'''Middle Eastern hip hop''' is hip hop music and culture originating in the Middle East. It is performed in many languages such as [[English language|English]], local [[Arabic]] dialects, [[Persian]], and [[French language|French]]. It has its OWN STYLE.


'''Andrew Lenahan''' is a writer and artist living in Virginia, in the United States.
Hip hop music has a high popularity almost everywhere in the Middle East. It is played on radio stations and shown on TV stations, but performing it has begun only recently. Many hip hop groups are still underground, because their views and criticism of politics could lead to government censure. Therefore, the internet has been a major outlet for most groups.
Areas of expertise include old-time radio, British pop music, and mystery fiction. Andrew was elected as a Wikipedia administrator in 2005.

Despite not having a formal recording contract, DAM's 2001 single "Meen Irhabi? - Who's the Terrorist?" - was downloaded more than a million times from their website. The group has also delivered their message outside Israel and the Palestinian territories on four European tours.
