Joining the many celebrities speaking up for Palestinians, American rapper Macklemore has found success with his latest song, ‘Hind’s Hall.’ The track openly condemns Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

According to The Guardian, ‘Hind’s Hall’ is named after a Columbia University building that student protesters renamed from Hamilton Hall, to honour Hind Rajab, a five-year-old child killed by Israeli military in Gaza.

“If students in tents posted on the lawn / Occupying the quad is really against the law / And a reason to call in the police and their squad / Where does genocide land in your definition, huh?” Macklemore raps, pointing out the police crackdown on student protests in the US. Students across college campuses made headlines for standing in solidarity with people suffering in Gaza.

Making a splash on several Billboard charts, Forbes reported that in its first week, ‘Hind’s Hall’ sold 6,773 copies. The song achieved high positions on several charts thanks to strong sales, marking a notable win for the Grammy-winning rapper.

‘Hind’s Hall’debuted at number 7 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart. This is only the second time Macklemore has reached the top 10 on this list without his former collaborator, Ryan Lewis.

The track also topped the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, which ranks the best-selling rap-only tracks in the country. Although it didn’t hit number 1, it came close behind Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

‘Hind’s Hall’ also performed well on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, debuting at number 3. True to his values, Macklemore announced that proceeds from the song will go towards helping Palestinian refugees.
