Turkish rappers: Words are our weapon

19 Turkish musicians got together and made a rap epic 'Susamam' (stands for "I Can’t Stay Silent"), a 14-verse manifesto about social issues, ranging from domestic violence to animal rights and police brutality. One of the authors of the song Şanişer told the Guardian - “I’m a ‘white Turk’, we’re the people who had the chance to think and act, and we didn’t. That’s Susamam’s message.” Watch the video for the song below.
