Inspired by the music of Tupac, they use rap to tell their stories and to provide a platform to advocate for programs and opportunities for youth and the community in their neighborhood of Lyd, outside of Tel Aviv. They are touring to promote their new album, Dabke on the Moon, which was released in November 2012, and reflects on the lives of Palestinian prisoners of the Israeli occupation.

Treatment is free of charge, and families are compensated for participation in regular research interviews.
