Through hip-hop (or as he defines it: "Highly Intelligent People Hovering Over Politics").
His music reflects his reality as an Arab and Muslim growing up between cultures, in a post-9/11 world. He just released his new album, World War Free, which he described as a "narrative-based record, best listened to in its entirety."
