The voice of the street

Egypt Revolution Song: Hashtag-Jan-25

Posted by Lisa Archibald in Street Warrior

"First, they ignore you.

Then, they laugh at you.

Then, they fight you.

Then, you win"

Potent lyrics about events in Egypt this week.

I caught this on CBC's "As it happens" this afternoon and wanted to share this wicked piece of collaborative creativity.

Montreal-based MC, The Narcicyst teams  up with Toronto-based singer, Ayah, Palestinian-American producer Sami Matar; rappers Freeway, Omar Offendum, and Amir Sulaiman on a song about the Egyptian protests called "Hashtag-Jan-25".
