At his home in Ramallah, Al Nather is a member of leading Palestinian independent digital record label BLTNM. Pronounced “blatinum”, the label’s name is a reference to Dubai’s popular music institution Platinum Records, with the swapped consonant an ironic joke referencing how there is no “p” sound in the Arabic language.
Founded by Al Nather, rappers Shabjdeed, Shabmouri and artist Faris Amin, BLTNM is testament to the burgeoning underground Ramallah rap scene, rising to global attention with Boiler Room’s documentary on Palestinian Underground. Other artists have since contributed to the platform such as El Rass, Synaptik, Haykal and female producer, vocalist and DJ Makimakkuk.

Al Nather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
إسمعوا معنا اليوم أول ألبوم من إصدارات بلتنم
بعنوان سندباد أشعل نيران الحرب بوجه قوات العدو
ولا تمت قبل أن تكون نداً
وكل هذا الحكي بشر وداشر ومج عنك
قبل متكون ما تهاجر شارع رام الله القدس
تحية القد والغادرين بنبني القدس بنرم في الجدار
ناكل خرا قبل ما ناكل مال حرام والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله تعالي وبركاته
ولا تموت قبل أن تكون نداً
ولا حول ولا قوة بالله العلي العظيم
إستمعو واستمتعوا ولا تملوا ولا تكلوا
فأن الله معكم يا اخواتي
These lyrics are from Al Nather's song "Kun Nedan," and they convey a powerful message of resilience, unity, and defiance against adversity. The song begins with a greeting, "Peace be upon you," as the artist introduces himself as a new voice from the heart of the region, ready to speak out. He announces that today marks the release of the first album from Biltaneem, a production company.
The title of the album, "Sindbad," symbolically represents the singer's role as a warrior, igniting the fires of war against the enemy forces. The singer emphasizes that they will not die before becoming a voice that cannot be ignored. This line implies a determination to fight for their cause and never back down.
The lyrics then shift to commenting on the current situation, dismissing the idle talk and negativity surrounding it. The artist mentions the streets of Ramallah and Jerusalem, indicating a connection to the Palestinian struggle. They pay tribute to the brave and persistent individuals who build and preserve the city, even in the face of adversity, symbolized by staying strong amidst the destruction. There is a contrast between the physical act of eating dirt before eating ill-gotten wealth, suggesting a commitment to principles and values above material gain.
The song concludes with a message of strength and faith, asserting that they will stand strong like a mountain against the crushers, and like a door against any attempt to tear them down. The phrase "And there is no power or strength except in God, the High, the Great" invokes reliance on a higher power. The artist urges the audience to listen, enjoy, and not grow tired or lose hope because God is with them. This line highlights the importance of perseverance and unity in the face of challenges.
Overall, "Kun Nedan" celebrates resilience, unity, and determination in the midst of conflict, presenting a powerful call to stand up against oppression and hold onto principles and faith.
