rabian Knightz is the culmination of 4 of the most talented Hip Hop artists that the Middle East has to offer. Hailing out of Cairo, the Hollywood of the Middle East, the Knightz pride themselves on Arab unity, displaying a vast repertoire of popular tracks with souped up beats and catchy riffs. Being produced by some of Hip Hops finest producers, also producing for 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Wu Tang, with the likes of FredWrecks and 4th Disciple etc. Arabian Knightz is on fire letting loose a passion that enthralls a whole generation of younger and older Arabs alike with their addictive hip hop style. Effortlessly combining old school Arabic music with contemporary new school flavor HipHop, the Knightz have been performing live ever since 2005, powering an ever prevalent nationalistic Arab movement with the infallible tool of popular hip hop culture, spreading the message that is all too important to be ignored. ARABS STAND UP!
