One of the Arab hip-hoppers we did not explore is Canada's hottest export, Belly. This 23 year old Palestinian-Canadian rapper is the best of both worlds, he is both commercial (his club hit featured Ginuwine) and political. His two disc album are like two little binaries - the club hits on one side and the political opuses on the other. Below is his video for "History of Violence" which blows Viggo Mortensen out of the water.
More about Belly at this surprisingly fair and balanced interview with Geraldo:
