context_page_description: Shabak Samech is the first recognized hip-hop group to come out of Israel, from Yavne. Their sound is primarily hip-hop, but it includes elements of rapcore, dancehall, ska, and funk. Their sound has been compared to the Beastie Boys, Ugly Duckling, Rage Against the Machine, Bionic Jive, Body Count, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimmy Cliff, Elephant Man, and more. The group had two and three vocalists, two guitarists, a drummer and a bassist. The group continued to distinguish itself from the rest of the hip-hop acts in Israel as the scene continued to grow with a unique sound and minimal reliance on beats and samples.
  The word Shabak as it is written in Hebrew is a misspelling of the Hebrew acronym for the Internal General Security Service of Israel.
