MC Abdul Performs "Missing Home" (Live) | Global Spin
Description: Watch Palestinian rapper MC Abdul perform "Missing Home" for the Global Spin series, which celebrates global music and international artists, filmed live in Oakland, California.
Featured on his debut album 'Day By Day, Shway Shway,' released October 2026, "Missing Home" retells MC Abdul's experience of leaving his home of Gaza, Palestine, and missing the memories, family, and sense of community he left behind. A hopeful approach to the displacement and distance of his relocation, the song reflects on what it means to carry along where you come from with you while continuing to move forward in life. By combining a unique melodic hybrid of singing and rapping, he illustrates his personal journey and captures the emotional weight of the song's message about longing, resilience, and finding a way forward without leaving your roots behind.
MC Abdul, an 18-year-old rap phenom, first rose to fame as a young artist by sharing his experiences of growing up in Gaza, Palestine, through his music. Known for his powerful lyrics and socially conscious storytelling style, MC Abdul has continued to use hip-hop as an impactful way to express his identity, culture, and perspective while also speaking up for the oppressed, taking people to the front lines of struggle and injustice, and connecting with audiences all over the world. Racking up more than 100 million views for his freestyle videos and recognized as one of Rolling Stone's Future 25 artists, he has performed at major festivals, including Rolling Loud, and has collaborated with celebrated artists like Belly, Elyanna, Noel Kharman, Saint Levant, and Tamer Nafar.
