Hip Hop- SHI 360

From the video of SHI 360, this Israeli Shai Haddad grew up in a town called Haifa, Israel. Only 11 eleven years old him and his family packed together their things only to seek a new home in Montreal, Canada. Shai had to overcome difficulties in a foreign home where language barrier and Anti-Semitism was current. Mostly he was influenced from the experiences of Canada that brought him to the music of the Hip-Hop culture. He started off as a DJ for a club and then graduated from Concordia University. Shai then lunged out with this career to be an artist with words to be spoken through music.
In his video, “Kmo Hayot” you can depict the streets of what seems to be in Israel. There are hustlers who steal to get money in their pockets to people who try to trick you into picking a card and losing your bets. The graffiti is well displayed all around the walls and bums that just sleep the day away. SHI 360 portrays what is Hip-Hop to him in his own style. He presents the graffiti art, the dirty money being trafficked illegally, and the people that struggle to support themselves and family. Hip-Hop in another significant way as to “streets” or “hoods” well fits this video. In the Hip-Hop culture these elements presented in “Kmo Hayot” gives off the troublesome days where bad communities and harsh livings all represent some of the genre of Hip Hop.
Also, SHI 360, in his song, is basically rapping about a story of the streets of Israel and their social and political needs of change. Their influence was mostly from Malcolm X and the African-American communities. Globally Hip-hop is a well known genre composed by rappers, mc, djs, and hip-hop artists. Majority of the rappers in Israel are Muslims and have their religion in parts of their songs to express how they feel about it as well.
