The people of Gaza are at the top of Belly’s mind. On Thursday, the Canadian-Palestinian rapper released the nine-track album 96 Miles From Bethlehem as an ode to Palestine amid the Israel-Hamas war, featuring appearances from Elyanna, Saint Levant, and Mc Abdul.
“I got a lot more to say,” Belly wrote on Instagram before releasing the project, whose proceeds will support those affected by the Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank.

Anointed a blues-guitar prodigy before he was old enough to drive, 40-year old Austin, Texas, native Gary Clark Jr. has spent much of his career thinking outside his primary genre, and his latest, Jpeg Raw, sounds more than ever like the music Clark wants to make rather than the music folks think he makes.
Since as early on as his second album, the underrated 2015 collection The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, Clark has embraced everything from fuzzy rock to funk to Prince-ly psychedelia. Jpeg Raw continues his never-ending quest for new fire,...

Amir and Sayron wrote the film and play the leads, two small-time enforcers for a Jerusalem mob protection racket, who find their lives in flux when they survive a terrorist suicide bomb. They readjust, and go to the Wailing Wall, where they begin to fulfill the wishes of those who traditionally leave notes at the shrine. The two writer/actors have created some hugely popular TV shows in Israel, including “Scarred,” “Asfur” and “Ma Bakarish.”
