Belly

Ahmad Balshe, known professionally as Belly, is a Palestinian-Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Jenin, Balshe was raised in Ottawa. His debut mixtape, Death Before Dishonor: Vol. 1 was followed by eight additional projects until the release of his debut studio album, The Revolution. He then began co-writing for fellow Canadian singer the Weeknd, signing with his record label, XO, as a recording artist in 2015. Released in a joint venture with Roc Nation, his eighth mixtape, Up for Days, marked his first release on a major label and was led by the single "Might Not" — his first entry on both Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100 which received double platinum and platinum certifications by Music Canada and the Recording Industry Association of America, respectively. His second studio album, Immigrant, narrowly entered the Billboard 200 along with his third, See You Next Wednesday. His fourth album, 96 Miles from Bethlehem was released by SALXCO and explored political subject matter, namely the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In songwriting, Balshe has been credited on each of the Weeknd's studio albums.
