Shabjdeed

Oday Abbas (; born 1995), better known by his stage name Shabjdeed , is a Palestinian rapper from Kafr 'Aqab, Jerusalem. Based in the city of Ramallah, he has become an influential figure in underground Palestinian hip-hop. His use of the Arabic language is characterized as playful, using alliteration and rhyming to create a unique style. His delivery has been described as a "constant overflow of words that fills every corner of a track." He cites the Ramallah rap collective Saleb Wahed as a major source of inspiration. The group participated in a campaign for Burberry in August 2020.

Controversy On 1 August 2026, Shabjdeed released "SLV", a diss track directed at fellow Palestinian rapper Saint Levant, criticizing his mainstream commercial success and accusing him of commodifying the Palestinian cause and using it as a mere aesthetic to light-themed works in order to appeal to Western audiences. The song sparked a debate over Palestinian representation amid the Gaza genocide, and has brought up the question of the national identity of a people with different lived experiences in different parts of Palestine and the diaspora.
