Produce HIP HOP with BEATLALIPOS

Beatlalipos is one of the current prominent figures in the Lebanese Hip Hop Scene.

Beatlalipos has also been involved in the production of the experimental album “Tripnol” with Edd Abbas & Elepheel and the beat tape “Iqa3 Mokhtalef” with DJ Lethal Skillz, as well as music production for documentary “Forte”, “Beirut Street” & “Graffiti Min Beirut” as well as advertisements for “Lebanese Flow Arts” & “Circus Hub”.

As a rapper, Beatlalipos released many singles with the groups he formed in his career with one album and several mixtapes with his crew Jnood Beirut, releasing tracks like Bala Hawejiz, Bill Siyara, Kharfeh, and others.
