Asalamualaikum,
I used to listen to anp back when I was in highschool – I bought thief CDs and downloaded all thier music
Although much of thier lyrics where contrary to my understanding of islam (ie too extreme) I loved thier music and still play it on my iPod today.

Despite what I believe to be extreme interpretations of this seen, there were so many powerful lines that resonated with me then and still do, like:
“in the name of allah the most high I speak my mind”
“man makes a systm, that's how he pimps them…”
“shaheeds don't die, they multiply”
” u and I, muslimeen , got the deen, now it's time to change the scene”
And so many more :)

Whether anp decided to produce more music or not, I love them for the sake of Allah and want them to know that their music helped me get thru some ruff times In highscool.
