The Thrift Shop rapper's new release, inspired by student protests calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, has been dubbed 'the most Rage Against the Machine song since Rage Against the Machine.'
, best known for his Hottest 100 and chart-topping hits Thrift Shop and Same Love, is being applauded online for the release of a new protest song called Hind's Hall.
"Once it's up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA," the Seattle artist wrote of the new track online, referring to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which is supporting Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere."What if you were in Gaza? What if those were your kids?" he raps in the closing bars.
Some unlikely high praise came from Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who favourably compared Hind's Hall to his group's famously fiery, political anthems."He's out here raising awareness of an in-progress genocide for an audience who might not be clued in, who you and I probably can't reach," commented Chris Walla, music producer and former member of indie rock favourites Death Cab For Cutie.
