Jamey 'Numoon' Roberti - Jewish Rapper Turning the Tide

“Rapper on the Nile” is a series of posts inspired by the concept of a Jewish person taken out of a Jewish world who is spiritually guided back to his roots. Numoon will rap as he was made to with the confidence, cleverness, and “bragadocious” nature of someone in a competitive genre. However, these raps will all be written using Jewish cultural references in a clever manner that ties together Jewish culture and American hip-hop so he can show the world that Jews are relatable, fun, and a strong force in American music. The posts will also address Numoon’s full-length songs which address topics, such as uniting Jews and (non-Jewish) Black Americans.
Numoon aka ‪@Numoontalk215‬ (he/him) is a Philadelphia rapper, published author and Tribe 12 fellowship alumni. He also holds a master’s degree in education and has led and served diverse students nationwide. Born to an Israeli Buddhist woman and a rock musician father from a Catholic family, Numoon’s inspiration comes from the challenges of growing up in a low-income environment as the only Jewish family and the privilege of taking summer trips to Israel as a dual citizen. His musical inspirations include MF DOOM, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, and more. His music displays the creativity of abstract rap, as well as the stories of his unique Jewish upbringing and coming to terms with and finding pride in his identity.
