*FREE DOWNLOAD* - Dark, breaky and moody - this is the theme tune for a recent political activism project of mine called UNDISTORTED JOURNALISM. This has been used as an intro for some short activism films, and has also been used within short videos about political and social issues.

It was originally made for this video - Dangers of UK Depleted Uranium in Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjVMBtCLP2g (this video was my first attempt at creating a regular mini-documentary)

Undistorted Journalism Theme #1

The poem read in the end is an extract of The Deluge and the Tree by Palestinian Poet Fadwa Tuqan.  

" When the hurricane swirled and spread its deluge
of dark evil
onto the good green land
‘they’ gloated. The western skies
reverberated with joyous accounts:
“The Tree has fallen!
The great trunk is smashed! The hurricane leaves no life in the Tree!”

Had the Tree really fallen?
Never! Not with our red streams flowing forever,
not while the wine of our thorn limbs
fed the thirsty roots,
Arab roots alive
tunneling deep, deep, into the land!

When the Tree rises up, the branches
shall flourish green and fresh in the sun,
the laughter of the Tree shall leaf
beneath the sun
and birds shall return.
Undoubtedly, the birds shall return.
The birds shall return. " 

My heart screams with you. Free Palestine.

🎧 Phantrik – It Ain’t A Debate (Album) 🎧

This is the debut album of Phantrik.
11 tracks + 1 bonus Arabic rap song dedicated to Palestine & the people of Gaza

This project speaks on the reality of life behind walls, and the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand for human rights while staying silent. It’s not just rap; it’s testimony, it’s solidarity, it’s unfiltered truth.

The sound is raw boom bap, layered with Middle Eastern soul. Samples, drums, chants, and rhymes sharpened into weapons of resistance.

I made this for the people of Gaza, for every voice silenced, for every story buried under rubble. This album is not entertainment, it’s a statement.

❤ ✊ All proceeds from this album will be donated to Gaza’s children via Save The Children.
