In Southern Lebanon, where surveillance and airstrikes form the backdrop of daily life, @nk014 , the Egyptian-Iranian rapper-producer, is building a sound rooted in his refusal to accept what he knows to be unjust. Spending days inside his process, @safehouse.pod interviews him and traces how bass and rhythm become tools to carry grief and his politics that refuse to be abstracted.
At the centre is his latest album Nader Khalil 3, a record shaped by the present moment, where sound travels further than borders.
