At a time when all rappers in the Middle-East were putting out records in English and French, Wael a.k.a. RAYESS BEK (Lebanese/Palestinian) decided to flip the script and rap in Arabic. 
Rayess Bek is the founder of Rap and Hip Hop in Arabic. He adapted Rap music to his background and created his own sound and style. His lyrics - always polished, sharp and committed - speak about Lebanon, its crisis, its war, its youth and disillusionment with politics by the new generation.
I had the chance to call up Wael & discuss few thing on a RE-VOLT Interview from his beginnings with his amazing collaboration with Wu-Tang member RZA! along his passion for mixing Arabic Instruments such The Oud into Hip Hop.
Make sure you support this talented fella by checking out his website & buying his tracks:
