Murder Eyez (Abdulrahman Masri)
The Voice of Syrian Hip-Hop

From the heart of Aleppo to global stages, Abdulrahman Masri—better known as Murder Eyez—isn’t just a rapper. He’s a movement. Born on January 8 in Aleppo, Syria, Masri is recognized as the pioneer who brought hip-hop into the public consciousness in Syria, using his voice to challenge the status quo and ignite a cultural revolution.

Early Life: A Voice Born from Struggle
Growing up in Syria during a time of strict censorship and political pressure, Masri found music to be more than just an escape—it was a weapon of truth. His lyrics often reflect the realities he witnessed firsthand: the corruption, the injustice, the war. As a trilingual speaker—fluent in Arabic, English, and German—Masri built bridges with his words, reaching audiences far beyond Syria’s borders.

Even before music, he was passionate about technology, which led him to become a computer engineer. But it was through producing beats, writing lyrics, and guiding other artists that he truly found his calling.

The Birth of Syrian Hip-Hop
Murder Eyez stepped onto the stage in 1999, a teenager with a mic and a mission. A year later, he dropped his first track, Rap Game, marking the beginning of his relentless pursuit to carve a place for rap in a country that had never embraced the genre. In a time where there were no labels, no radio plays, and no media support for hip-hop, he was a one-man army—writing, producing, and engineering his own music.

He eventually founded Big Change Productions, his own independent label dedicated to authentic, raw hip-hop with purpose. For Murder Eyez, it wasn’t just about beats and bars—it was about building a movement.

The Meaning Behind the Name
The name “Murder Eyez” wasn’t chosen lightly. Inspired by the No Fear clothing brand, it became a symbol of unflinching determination—eyes that don’t look away in the face of danger. That fearlessness became his signature, and soon, his music became a rallying cry for those who felt voiceless.

With a hardcore rap style deeply rooted in social and political commentary, he fused Western beats with Arabic melodies, creating something entirely his own. His sound stood out—and so did his message.

The Rise of “963”
In his track Listen Up, Masri did something extraordinary—he took Syria’s country code, 963, and turned it into a national symbol of identity and pride. It quickly spread beyond the music scene—plastered on car windows, social media bios, and graffiti walls. 963 wasn’t just a number anymore. It was a movement.

That same energy fueled his track 963 Syrian MCs Revolution, where he brought together over 50 Syrian rappers from across the globe in a multilingual, genre-defying anthem of unity. It became the longest rap song in Middle Eastern history—and a landmark in regional music.

Movements That Matter
Murder Eyez's work didn’t stop at the studio door. He founded Shahba MC’s, a crew of Aleppo-based rappers who became a driving force in Syrian hip-hop. Later, he launched Syrian Hip-Hop Unity, a movement to connect Syrian artists from inside and outside the country—building a global community around rap, resilience, and resistance.

These aren’t just collectives—they’re families. They’re places where Syrian youth can express themselves freely, often for the first time.

Recognition and Respect
Murder Eyez's contributions haven’t gone unnoticed. He was named the Ambassador of Arabian Hip-Hop in the book War and Peace by the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. He also took 2nd place in BEIT EL HIPHOP, a major competition aired on MBC, and won Syria’s first official rap battle in 2003.

His résumé includes over 200 concerts worldwide, multiple artist mentorship initiatives, and two pioneering hip-hop movements that still inspire today.

Legacy: More Than Music
For many, Murder Eyez is more than an artist—he’s a symbol. A reminder that art can rise from ashes. That truth can come with a beat. That voices once silenced can become anthems of resistance.

His lyrics continue to challenge, educate, and empower. And as new generations step up to the mic, his fingerprints remain on every verse that dares to speak truth in a region still learning how to listen.

The Man Behind the Mic
Outside the spotlight, Abdulrahman Masri wears many hats: computer engineer, filmmaker, music producer, and tech innovator. He channels his skills to support the next wave of talent—offering guidance, mentorship, and a platform to those who need it most.

At his core, he’s a builder. Of beats. Of communities. Of movements. And for Syria—and the world—he’s built a legacy that will echo for years to come.
