The Synaptik

The Synaptik, born Laith Hasan, is a Palestinian-Jordanian rapper considered one of the game-changing voices in Arabic hip-hop. He grew up in Amman and studied medicine for seven years, taking his stage name from a fascination with the nervous system and his own experience with ADHD. Known for a smooth, melodic flow, dense wordplay and the ability to shift between styles, he released his debut album Om Al Mawjat in 2018. He later relocated to Palestine, drawn by the underground scenes of Haifa and Ramallah.
