Jenerous Skillz – A Global Jewish Hip Hop Album

Uneek Media and Corner Prophets are proud to present Jenerous Skillz, a unique cultural / musical project, the first of its kind, bringing together for the first time Israeli and Jewish rappers from all over the world.

The album was recorded in Tel Aviv and New York, and features exclusive collaborations between a variety of leading Jewish M.Cs. As tension between different factions within Israeli society is reaching new heights, Jenerous Skillz proves, in 60 minutes of original, hard-hitting, uncompromising hip hop, that we have more in common than we acknowledge.
The album was produced by Controverse, a promising young beatmaker from New York, while Max Schroeter and Khen Rotem (Sagol 59) acted as executive producers. At the request of some participants, no work on the project was done on Sabbath.
Featuring:
Adi Abraham, MC Ayatollah, Benyomen, Big J, De Cipher,  Lefty, MC Theory, Mic G, New Voice, OBD, Sagol 59, Shiroto, Tamir ‘Stepper’ Kehati, Vokcal, Vulkan, Uneek, Controverse.

(The 2011 Israeli housing protests, which are also referred to by various other names in the media, are a series of ongoing demonstrations in Israel beginning in July 2011 involving hundreds of thousands of protesters from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds opposing the continuing rise in the cost of living in Israel, and particularly the relatively high housing prices in Israel as well as the lack of affordable housing solutions in the country.

As the protests expanded, the demonstrations began to also focus on other issues, such as the deteriorating state of the Israeli education system, the indirect costs of raising children and issues relating to the social order in Israel.)
