NARCY, real name Yassin Alsalman, is a polymath. He is a celebrated video director, a published author through Haymarket Books and a co-owner of Old Montréal bookshop, MAKTABA. But he is most known for his truth-filled bars and relentless creative output as The Neo-Arab Rebel Called Yassin. He is also part time professor at Concordia University in Montreal for the last decade, helming all of its Hip-Hop courses including the viral classes on Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. He is on the eve of releasing a double LP- To Be An (Arab) - a music and art project about identity in the possibility of multiple dimensions of Planet Earth and challenging the idea of who is allowed to simply "Be". Catch him while you can (unless, of course, you're the feds, please.)
