"It's NOT A PROTEST... It's a revolution."

Revolution in Egypt is supported by American rappers with a new work called #Jan25. The artists hope to bring awareness to the cause in Egypt.





The song features Oman Offendum, The Narcicyst, Freeway, Amir Sulaiman and Ayah it is a collaboration they've put out as a free download in hopes of not only raising awareness but to bring support and immortalizing those Egyptians who have stood up and said enough. The idea that the revolution is spreading, I believe has everything to do with a generation who's socially aware in a way that others haven't been before. We have become technology-fluent as it's been apart of our everyday lives since near birth and through access to the internet we get a very clear view of other countries. We are understanding that we should have right to freedom and free speech and we are supporting others who are asking for those rights.
