Why am I releasing my first book? 24 years ago my mom heard Big Pimpin’ by Jay-Z and said “you should make beats and mixes like this”, she loved the middle eastern sample in it. I’m half Iranian and growing up around mom playing Persian, Arabic and Lebanese music kind of made me take Middle Eastern music for granted.

This project has been on my mind for 24 years but I took the last three years crafting and fine tuning it.

This book isn’t just about food – it’s a journey through Middle Eastern cuisine, family tales, and music history leading to his top 5 favorite Jurassic 5 stories. Enjoy beats by Habibeats, Gaslamp Killer and DJ Nu-Mark himself, with Russell Peters hosting!

Nu’s book will be available for purchase, which includes an exclusive 7” flexi vinyl, 2 hour Middle Eastern Mix, Travel Guide For Middle Eastern Food from the likes of DJ Premier, Posdnous of De La Soul, Maz Jobrani and many more!
