BEIRUT — “I have gotten more laid back over time," admits Lebanese hip-hop artist Lynn Fattouh. "This was because of a growing sense of losing hope and losing faith in finding a solution [for my country]." But then she added, "What happened with the revolution is it brought this [anger back] because what I saw was hope."
On Oct. 24, a week after the protests started in Lebanon, Fattouh, known by her stage name Malikah (Queen in Arabic), released a song called “I’m Fighting.”
