O.P.P. by Chyno (Directed by Pedros Temizian)
Following his success in the regionally‐renowned Lebanese Hip Hop band, Fareeq el Atrash, Syrian‐Filipino rapper Chyno is set to release his debut single, “OPP”, from his upcoming album “Making Music to Feel At Home” set to be released early 2014. Through his involvement in Fareeq el Atrash, Chyno has made countless media appearances on major media programs, including Arab’s Got Talent, MTV, LBCI and Future TV. His previous musical compositions appear on Fareeq’s 2010 self‐titled debut as well as the group’s second album, “Al Mawjeh el Tarsha” released in May 2013. Chyno has also performed in Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Spain, France, Italy and Sweden.

Central Asian Throat‐singing chants, sharp synthesizers and heavy drum sections overlay Chyno’s slight nod to the 1990s American rap group, Naughty by Nature, in “OPP,” a song about a suicide bomber. The song is a first person narration explaining his thought process as he weighs out his options deciding whether to commit to it or not.
Well renowned director of the Lebanese alternative music scene, Pedros Temizian, directs this video‐clip. He interprets this specific political problem in a broader everyday corporate life, correlating both situations to reveal human reaction to extreme pressure.
Pedros has directed videos such as, Hiba’s “Fog El Nakhal” (Which has generated over 70,000 views) and the Incompetents’ “Prelude to an Abyss”. As well as other artists like Lazzy Lung, SlutterHouse and OkyDoky.
