Rappers Fuel Political Resistance in Hungary, Targeting Orban's Policies

Hungarian rappers, such as De:Nash and Krubi, have been vocal critics of Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his government's policies. Through their performances and social media, they draw attention to issues like corruption and political ties with Russia, sidestepping state-controlled media for exposure and gaining widespread support.

Hungarian rappers are increasingly becoming the voice of political resistance, raising their voices against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's policies and the oligarchic system. Rappers like De:Nash and Krubi use their performances and social media platforms to critique corruption and Hungary's diplomatic ties with Russia.

During a festival performance, De:Nash lambasted the government's actions and received enthusiastic support from the audience. His criticism focused on Orban's controversial visit to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was tagged as a 'peace mission' but drew ire from European Union leaders who disapproved of appeasing Moscow.

Young people, frustrated with stagnant political scenarios, resonate strongly with these artists. Turning away from state-controlled media, rappers like Azahriah fill arenas and attract fans through online streaming, highlighting a rising trend of political engagement through music in Hungary.
