Straight Outta Syria — 3 Syrian Children Use Rap Music to Express the Misery of a Nation
“When I grow up I’d like to write humorous songs because I don’t like to write about misery. I like people to be happy and laugh, I like joy.” — Abdulrahman (Age 12) Fire Rap
The wise words of a child who has seen more in his life than most of us can imagine. Abdulrahman is one of three members that make up the Syrian Hip Hop group Fire Rap featured in this powerful short film “Straight Outta Syria,” that was created for the nonprofit A World at School. This is one of the most powerful short films we have seen about Syrian refugees told through the lyrics and lives of these three young boys. Highly recommended viewing:
