about

"Wala Fuse" is the first single from Assasi's upcoming "Deebak" EP, a collection of reimagined material recorded during spontaneous jam sessions with Mike O'Hehir of Coyote Island in spring of 2022. "Deebak" means "I got you" - referring to the healing power of musical friendship. Watch out for a second EP of brand new songs to follow "Deebak" in October 2022!

lyrics

English translation:
I say do that shit in Arabic [khara], so we step back
So I'm wondering, do you see how we explain the truth?
Maybe you can, try to rule it, my tongue was refined
Trust me you don't wanna see us rolling up our sleeves
One second, flashback, capture, hashtag #legend
To explain it more... Lil.Zac, I think the image is clear
Who? I'm who, you are asking who I am?!
Yeah you are right cuz there is a shitload of Syrian MC's
But without Assasi and a few in Syria, you'll never hear of Hip-Hop
Who said that? I said that, or you said it/ moving forward, go and ask
Or hold on a second this track with the first MC in Nepal
It's a big deal, it's impossible to find someone doing Hip-Hop for real
It's been 13 years doing it, still alone, independent, controlling the wheel
My music is dark not silly, you better turn on the torch
For example, a pink elephant flying, a good report
At the end of this punchline he is gonna land on your head for sure
With Girish to Guinness, so you are not in my mind
Leave me alone, Syrian Nepali, if I'm cheap then who is precious?
Who introduces you to the music?
The underground is innocent of you
Art doesn't need an application to join
The master needs to nail the method
You didn't understand the game, your ideas are slow.

Assasi Aleppo, Syria

Assasi dons the red tarboush (fez) and carefully arranges a scarf on his left shoulder before each performance. Every audience enjoys this sight, regardless of venue or country. He seems trapped between the past - a golden era of Arab music and culture - and the utopian future - a society free of today’s hang-ups and conflicts, in which individuals and their unique gifts flourish in safety. ... more
