182 votes

In his song, Mohamad is singing about how strange life is, how harsh the nights are: ‘Oh this life is so strange... our home became very far. Very far.’ But before he can finish, he is overcome by homesickness and with his head in his hands, he cries. He is crying for his beloved country and for the father he left behind.Abu and Mohamad are residents of Zaatari, a refugee camp located just a few kilometres east of Mafraq, Jordan, near the Syrian border. Originally established as a temporary settlement in July 2012 for Syrians fleeing the civil war, Zaatari is now home to an estimated 79,000 refugees and stretches over five square kilometres.The Jeeni Refugee Aid channel supports refugee aid and charities across the world.

Profiiit - Son Of Zeus

As the third track to Profiiit's newest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22 Dead Poets Society), 'Son Of Zeus' features the diverse and talented rapper at full-force. The track also features some alternative uses of sampling as a spoken word about "the frontiers of space" which rounds up the track superbly.Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.
