The purpose of the music is to elevate the medium of hiphop and rap and make it holy. I want to bring light into the world and bring jewish pride back into my
I started off with Guitar and then Electronic music and then people were asking me to make hiphop beats for them. I finally began realising that I also have things to say...

Lyrics
Shir HaMaa'lot Bshouv H' et Shivat Tzion Hayinu K'Hholmim Az Yimale SeHhok Pinu Oulshonenu Rina Az Yomru Bagoyim Higdil H' Laa'sot Im eleh higdil H' Laa'sot Imanu Hayinu SemeHhim A song of Ascents for a return to your land All nations will behold the greatness of your hand In your mercy you've returned us, and for the sake of your name You've expanded our boarders, and granted seasons of rain NOT A HOPE (HaTikvah), but a promise with our fathers you made Not a dream but as dreamers we rejoice in the land that you gave The soul you placed within us has a longing for home A longing throughout history since the exile of Rome If I had lost my arm would I not long for it back If I had lost my speach would I not feel the lack If I had the chance to re-attach it would I be wrong to deny How much more so for my heart should my soul long and pine Can't fully understand what we have 'till it's gone We'll you took it away a long night awaiting your dawn And even when you returned it we had to pay the cost Years of war, working the land, and a Holocaust But is the goal really just to be free in our land? What about your revelation of six hundred thirteen commands? Is the world just a purposeless existence 'till we die? Is the goal simply just to live the rest of our lives? Take a simple couple with the noble goal to be wed After their binding at the canopy and their contract is read Their goal has been met is it now time to rest? Or is it now time to build a house of holiness? Like a wedding the land is a doorway to Shalom The material for the bricks that will build a Home We praise you to the nations making your redemption known Your return to Tzion and establishing Your Throne Can anyone deny that you were our sheild in war? In order to return to us the land that you swore Without you we would have been swallowed alive in a day Blessed are you that you did not present us as prey Stable as your mountain are those who trust in your name The wicked shall not lead them but be forced to walk in shame For they falter back and forth with the folly of the day Yet those blinded by perversion will follow in their way May all who hate Zion be ashamed and flee And may all who love it, merit to see Your Shalom and your kingdom grow from the seeds May they eat of their labour and be clothed in their deeds I have faith that you'll return to us all of the tribes I have faith that all your enemies will fall and never rise I have faith that your first-born will return to its heights I have faith that you'll shine upon us Shalom from your light It is faith that has guided us and been a light in the dark A trust in your tree not a HOPE (HaTikvah) in the bark That our exile will end and our bride we will greet That all will be elevated, raised and complete *** Chorus LeHhaber Et Ami LeAretzeinu Eretz Tzion Yerushalayim
