| Cast: | Amir Sulaiman, Pop Master Fabel, DJ Kiddragon, DJ Fanatik, Aerosol Arabic |
| General: | This is the first film of its kind which delves deep into the psyche of the Muslim artist and deals directly with the issues of overzealous religiosity and the conflict of balancing ones culture with faith. |
| Synopsis: | We follow a group of Muslim Hip Hop artists living in the United States and United Kingdom. They discuss intimately with us the challenges they face trying to balance their faith, culture, and the pressures of daily Western life.
The film provides an intimate look into the lives of a group we know very little about and how they deal with the many issues surrounding their culture and religion. Mutah Beale (formerly Napoleon of Tupac Shakur’s Outlawz) is adamant about leaving music and the Hip Hop scene as an act of obedience to God. Rapper Tyson Amir Mustafa and HBO Def Poet Amir Sulaiman see nothing wrong with using music as a form of cultural expression and DJ BelikeMuhammad even claims to use Hip Hop as a means of proselytizing his faith. We show both sides of this conflict, through intimate and emotional scenes where the artists candidly express what motivates them to feel the way they do.
This is the tale of one of the most influential pop culture movements of our time and its relationship to Islam, one of the worlds fastest growing religions. |
