R3D, Shabjdeed & Al Nather Drop Music Video for 'Umro2'

The animated music video, helmed by Rony Karkar, is steeped in subterranean aesthetics that mirror the track's themes of resistance, inner conflict and unfiltered social commentary. Jul 02, 2025 Palestinian rapper R3D has just released the official music video for 'Umro2', his joint single with fellow BLTNM mates Shabjdeed and Al Nather. The animated music video, helmed by Stereo studios and directed by Rony Karkar, is steeped in subterranean aesthetics that mirror the track's themes of resistance, inner conflict and unfiltered social commentary. It opens in an ominous game-like location, an industrial or underground backdrop, before cutting to snapshots of Shabjeed inside a prison cell followed by airstrikes, reflecting the ongoing Israeli genocide in Palestine. The video transitions into visuals of an incognito commander on a motorbike - which later turns out to be R3D - naviating a futuristic metropolitan city with soaring skyscrapers and gleaming towers. The scenes sharply contrast with visuals of Gaza reduced to a rubble-strewn wasteland by the Israeli attacks, highlighting the unprecedented level of destruction and the apocalyptic reality Palestinians continue to endure. The juxtaposition lays bare the violence of erasure and the resilience that persists in its wake. Towards the end of the video, R3D gets exiled into a desert where he comes face to face with a transformer-like creature in a seemingly autobit battle - a visual metaphor for the enduring defiance of Palestinians even in displacement and exile. Originally released in 2024, 'Umro2' contrasts Shabjdeed's introspective lyricism on Palestine and his internal struggles, with R3D's rapid-fire flows and critical commentary-driven delivery, against Al Nather's ominous production and nostalgic samples.
