Tracks like ‘Gaza Strip 2 Detroit’ and ‘Peace Without Freedom’ stand out for their fusion of hard-hitting beats and unapologetic lyrics. Shiblaq’s aggressive tone throughout the album underscores his commitment to truth and justice, while the collaboration with other artists adds a dynamic range of voices that amplify the urgency of his message.
