Msallam Hdaib aka Emsallam is a Jordanian/Palestinian rapper, painter and audio visual artist based in Moscow. In 2016, he released his first solo album “The Last Step - الخطوة الاخيرة“, arguably the first full-fledged trap album released by any artist in MENA region, with the chorus of the hit track “Khawa - خاوة‘ becoming a catch phrase in levant region. “Ijramen Anhen - إجرمن عنهن“, released in 2018 as part of his second album laid the blueprint for an exciting fusion of Arab folk and trap. Emsallam released his second album Post-Colonialism in 2018, and Dyslexia under Keife Records in 2020. Msallam holds a Bachelor in Fine arts and a Masters in Ceramics and is constantly alternating and merging his creative expression between his two favored crafts, music and fine/visual arts. In all the artistic mediums he traverses, Hdaib uniquely challenges taboo subjects, offering unapologetic commentary grounded in a deep understanding of the political, cultural and artistic history of his region and beyond.
