About

Assasi

Assasi makes hip-hop fusing the best of Arab music with diverse sounds from around the world. Emerging from Aleppo, Syria’s most ancient city and cultural capital, he traded his school uniform and basketball shoes for an unwavering commitment to hip-hop. Like so many young Syrian creatives during the civil war, Assasi landed in Beirut for a few years before hardening borders drove him to India, Nepal, Malaysia, and finally the United States. Hip-hop remained Assasi’s anchor through it all. His newest project, “Third World Wide,” reflects this global journey as well as the friends, influences, and lessons he picked up along the way.
