Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, known artistically as Macklemorehas surprised his followers with the publication of a song in which he calls for the liberation of Palestine under the name ‘Hind’s hall‘ (back room in Spanish). The topic comes at a time when students from all over the world They are protesting for Palestine. The rallies started in the United States and have gone away spreading to other countries like Spain. In fact, the artist himself names these mobilizations in his theme. He does so at the beginning, where he also criticizes police action: “The problem is not the protests but what they are protesting about. Block the barricade until Palestine is free.”

Throughout the lyrics, the rapper charges against a system designed by white supremacy, politicians and capitalism. Of course, he points out that “this generation that is here is about to cut the ropes” despite the fact that “they are removed from the algorithm.” “We have already seen the truth, heard the roars, the buildings, the mothers and the children,” the artist intones. Thus, he is disappointed with his colleagues in the music industry whom he accuses of remaining silent. “I want a ceasefire, fuck a response from Drake. What are you willing to risk? What are you willing to give? What would happen if you were in Gaza and if they were your children and if the West pretended that you did not exist,” read the lyrics of the song from which the profit will go directly to the United Nations NGO.
