(Damadola, Pakistan) The successful debut of the poetry of al Qaeda operative Ayman al-Zawahiri caused leaders of the terrorist organization to release a complialtion disc of terror rappers.

Prominent on the collection is the work of al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Mu's'ab A-Zarqawi, known in "terrap" circles as "Fifty Dinar." Below is an excerpt from the Fifty Dinar song "In My Iraqi Hood":

Mullahs screw they face up at me
On some real shit son, they don't want pork
I cock that, aim that shit out the window
Spray, there ain't a shell left in my heat
Ya'll mullahs better lay down, yeah I mean stay down
Get hit with a K round, ya ass ain't gon' make it
You mullahs gon' get layed out in blood and ya brains out
Have you on the concrete, shiverin' and shakin'
I'm from Fallujah mothafucka, where the gats explode
If you feel like you on fire, boy drop and roll

Praise Allah!

Zarqawi/Fifty Dinar said that he hopes to bring the message of jihad to a new and younger audience through his raps, and with the production work of Dr. Dre.

"It’s dope. It’s the best experience I’ve had making music, period," said Fifty Dinar. "With Dre, he’ll play the music and I’ll pick whatever I want. And he’s got a whole heap of music — a bunch of shit. And he’ll say, ‘Yo, you know what? I think it would be iller if you said this one part like this or made this like this.’ He’ll take your words and come up with a way to record it."

Fifty Dinar said that terrap was a natural choice for him.

"I ain’t got no Plan B. I ain’t never had no job before," he said. "My plan wasn’t working. I’ve never even had working papers before. So it was either this or hustling. So I had to do my thing."
