The Evolution of an Arab-American Musician: In-Depth with Tarik Kazaleh (aka Excentrik)

2 Queer Arabz

The 2 Queer Arabz talk with Tarik Kazaleh about his process from battle rapper in Detroit to political hip-hop artist post 9/11. These three Arabs discuss the turning points of politicization as young Arabs post 9/11 and how music is so important to and for activists. Tarik takes the 2 queers through his evolutionary process from battle rap, through political hip-hop, to his more current avant garde instrumental style. His new audio-biography, Excentrik Anthology, covers his musical process through these three distinct phases. P.S. We also talk about enemas and porn!
