Tuna Essentials
Apple Music
With an unrelenting flow and a mesmerising mastery of Hebrew rhythmic patterns, Tuna has stood on top of Israel's hip-hop heap for years. Born in Petakh Tikva, the MC favours organic, soulful instrumentals where live drums and echoing guitars abound, and which swell and sway in tune with his rhymes. On cuts like "Avudim Ba Halal" (which features the staccato Yemenite vocals of Awa), Tuna's flows simmer and stir over cool and collected hip-hop—the perfect soundtrack for Tel Aviv cruising.
