ARABIAN KNIGHTZ DOUBLE THEIR EFFORTS TO SUPPORT EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION

EGYPT is broken.
But from the ashes of this uprising, there is hope for a more free future.
Egypt's musicians have been rallying the crowds at Tahrir Square and busy working away at new revolutionary songs.
Egyptian rappers Arabian Knightz called for an uprising in song Rebel (ft Lauryn Hill), and released it in its most raw format the minute the media blackout was lifted.
Listen here
During the rebellion, they also penned Not Your Prisoner especially for protestors (ft Shadia Mansour and Fredwreck).
The video is a compilation of some of the most jarring moments of the last few days, events that are almost irreconcilable with the Egypt I know and love.
But all these things really happened.
It is for the people and government to ensure this is never again repeated.

THIRTEEN SENSES - AN UNLIKELY SOUNDTRACK TO A REVOLUTION

CAN'T ignore what happened in Egypt today - summed up nicely by this video.
But I did an audio double-take when I realised the author of this montage opted for unlikely Penzance lads Thirteen Senses' 2004 #35 track Into the Fire for the soundtrack.
They may not be a household name in the UK but they're being heard by a whole generation of fired up Egyptians today.
