4 months ago on the 4th of July an unknown Iraqi Kiwi MC by the name of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialINZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I-NZ</a> dropped a video to a cover version of Childish Gambino's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Is America</a>" and the rest is history. In the making of course. Since then he has been featured on <a href="https://twitter.com/France24_en/status/1042083579596034048" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France24</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk148xDHoWm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vice Arabia</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BldLVWZnEL2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RT</a>,  and BBC News to name a few. Let's find out more...

Based in Dubai, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialINZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I-NZ</a> was born in Scotland to Iraqi parents. I'm not so sure where the connection to New Zealand comes in, but I-NZ has crafting his blend of Hip Hop over the past 7 years, first as a member of <strong>Traknotz</strong> where in 2011/2012 the duo had some notable performances in Dubai.

Moving up in the ranks <strong>I-NZ</strong> was inspired by the likes of <em>Omar Offendum</em> and <em>The Narcicyst</em> and has been passionate about blending Hip Hop with Arab Culture. His early work can be found on his <a href="https://soundcloud.com/officialinz/tracks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soundcloud</a> Page if you're curious.

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialINZ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I-NZ</a>'s timely rendition of <strong>This Is Iraq</strong> was released with precision timing as America celebrated their Independence and most people have all but forgotten about the ongoing wars in the Middle East. Created as a reminder to all so that we shall not forget. Given that November 11th has arrived I think we should all continue to remember.
