About
Since helping to build the Israeli hip-hop scene with his 2000 debut (Recorded between 1993-1999), Israeli Hip Hop pioneer Sagol 59 (born Khen Rotem) has earned a considerable reputation as an honest, unflinching, clever, articulate and highly original MC. boasting 4 Albums to date, plenty of musical collaborations with diverse artists and many live shows in Israel and overseas (The U.S, U.K and Europe), Sagol has anticipated Israel's current Rap boom and cemented his position as one of its most outspoken and talented leaders. Sagol has recorded the first-ever collaboration of Israeli and Arab MC's (“Summit Meeting” featuring Tamer Naffar & Shaanan Streett, released 2001). He also hosts the monthly Corner Prophets/Old Jeruz Cipher Hip Hop events, taking place in Jerusalem and showcasing both established and up-and-coming artists. Within the last decade, Sagol has participated in many events alongside Palestinian and Arab musicians, and has performed alongside many well known artists, in Israel and overseas (Matisyahu, DJ Spooky, Kenny Mohammed The Human Orchestra, Remedy, Killah Priest, Sole of Anticon, Spearhead's Michael Franti, Y-Love, Skinnyman, Taskforce and Israeli artists such as Hadag Nachash, Mook-e, Teapacks and many others).
