Silver Degree is an indigenous Arab Christian rap
band that attempts to combine western and oriental
musical motifs in their rap productions.
Made up of two young Palestinians, Bishara Kuttab,
Manuel Abuali as well as Raja Abdel Malek. . In
preparing their first album which took over three years
to make, the band received very important support from
guitarist and studio engineer Emad Salsa.
Silver Degree tries to recreate the path of the
Christian message from the Holy Land. Starting from
their Palestinian hometowns of Bethlehem and Jerusalem,
these two artists are hoping that with their unique
style of music they can rap their way to the uttermost
parts of the world.
This rap band concentrates on contemporary problems
facing the youth of today. Their music deals with social
issues in a direct way with songs are an example of how
they have approached this sensitive issue in a
straight-forward conservative biblical approach.
Silver Degree talk about the struggles of the band in
their home land, Palestine as well as their own
spiritual journey. Songs like "Everything is going to be
alright" is set on the background of the violence in the
Middle East, the song gives a message of hope and
optimism in the midst of the darkness that exists when
their song was written.
'Second chance' an inward looking song deals with the
situation all of us find ourselves when we have erred
and ask the Almighty to give us a second chance.
