Murder Eyez
Murder Eyez is a Syrian rap singer who has made a profound impact on the music industry in the Middle East and beyond. With a career that spans over two decades, he has established himself as one of the first and most influential rappers in Syria. Born Abdulrahman Masri, Murder Eyez was influenced by old-school legends such as Ice Cube and began his rap journey in 1999. He started rapping in English, but as he evolved, he switched to Arabic while still incorporating English into his music. This unique blend of languages has become a hallmark of his music and has helped him to reach a wider audience.
Despite facing opposition and arrests for his rap music in a community that was not always accepting of the genre, Murder Eyez persevered and eventually gained support from the community. He is not only a skilled rapper but also a trained computer engineer and has expertise in video editing and graphic design. This combination of skills has allowed him to produce his music from the beginning, and even before the war in Syria began, he had his recording studio and fashion stores. He now owns his own production company, Big Change Productions, and has worked with official organizations on various projects in Germany, where he now resides.
