Today, Noisey is proud to present the final installment of Noisey Israel Palestine: Hip Hop in the Holy Land, a six-part docu-series from VICE's music channel that heads to Israel and Palestine to spend time with the unique voices emerging from a region mired in political unrest.

In the series finale, host Mike Skinner (The Streets) heads to Jerusalem to meet Rebel Sun of Lucille Crew, a Baltimore native who has spent the better part of two decades establishing himself as a key player in the Holy Land's rap scene.

Hosted Mike Skinner (The Streets) and co-directed by Skinner and Alex Hoffman (Head of Music, VICE), Noisey Israel Palestine: Hip Hop in the Holy Land reveals the bristling diversity of the region's rap scene; meeting with everyone from DAM, a the first Palestinian rap group, to Ohad Cohen, an aspiring Orthodox Jewish Israeli rapper.

Noisey Israel Palestine: Hip Hop in the Holy Land is the latest installment of Noisey's ongoing exploration of the world's most compelling music scenes. Earlier this year, Noisey presented Noisey Atlanta, a ten-part, in-depth examination of the music, trap houses, neighborhoods, and personalities that built one of America's most influential music scenes. The series features candid interviews with highly influential artists, including 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Trouble, Migos, Rich Homie Quan, and iLoveMakonnen.

Previous installments have spotlighted the culture and artists behind dancehall in Noisey Jamaica, the fiery personalities of the Chicago drill rap scene in Noisey Chiraq, and the metal pioneers of the Bayou in Noisey NOLA.

VICE started Noisey back in 2011, criss-crossing the globe documenting the year in music from heavy-hitters to tiny garage bands who usually play for their girlfriends and moms. Since then, it has grown into one of the most unique and successful video-driven music sites on the planet. In 2012, Noisey teamed with YouTube as a premium content provider, and built out a series of shows that take a completely fresh take on the world of music. As an editorial resource, Noisey.com reaches millions of people a month, and has become a go-to source for weird music news, artist-sourced content, and VICE's signature offbeat coverage. Noisey throws parties and shows worldwide, hosts innovative online listening parties for new records, and produces videos for the best artists in the world, like MIA, Die Antwoord, A$AP Rocky, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Noisey is more than just a music site-music is the lens with which we explore youth culture all over the world.
