While in Montreal over Columbus day weekend I was able to take a quick Lunch Break and catch up with Iraqi MC, The Narcicyst. For years Narcy has been rhyming about his experience as an Arab man living in the west. He talked to me about his history with hip hop, favorite records, new projects and even his career as a Novelist. If you don’t know about Narcy already you should definitly check out some of his work. Even better , Narcy is in DC for the week doing shows, talks and film screenings. If you are at all interested in international hip hop, peace, Arab culture or extremely dope lyricists pop into one of these events.
