In November of 2007, MTV Arabia started broadcasting around the Middle East. Based in Dubai, the station broadcasts some American programming and some original programming, including Hip HopNa. Hip HopNa, meaning "our hip hop" in Arabic (sick logo on the left) is a kind of talent-search show looking for some of the best young, undiscovered hip hop talent in the Middle East. In the first season, the two hosts, Qusai and Fredwreck, traveled to eight Middle Eastern cities including Beirut, Cairo, Jeddah, and Dubai. The winner of each city's competition got a chance to go into the studio and produce a track. The finale in Dubai featured all of the local winners together on stage in a live concert. The show was a success and is in the filming of its second season.The show featured a lot of great artists including Desert Heat and the eventual winnner, Omar Boflot. Here are the two groups' performances from the finale:
