Desert heat is hip hop in its original form. How? Well hip hop has its roots from adapting to its surroundings, so desert heat basically wants to create hip hop music that reflects its surroundings. The universal rule of hip-hop is "keeping it real" or "Representing" but sadly most artist from the Middle East emulate their idols - gangster rappers and hustlers - ignoring completely their own roots. We rap, and we know we know how to... we dont need to 'cuss' to make it rap..its all clean and yet we hot.. Challenge that! Inshallah if it is written then 'we bout' to make history'. Expect hip hop at a whole other level. Most people might categorize our music into a fusion category, but ultimately good music with positive vibes will always rise to the top.
