Abstract
This study departs from the author’s observation of the music tastes of listeners of Radio Fajar IAIN Kendari who like the Rap music genre, especially Deen Squad's song, which calls its music a Halal Remix. This can be seen from the large number of reservations for Deen Squad songs in every the program of Radio Fajar Radio. It is interesting for writers to examine what they want to be expressed through the Rap music genre regarding their identity as Muslims. In addition, the writer also wants to find out what da’wah messages are contained in the Deen Squad’s rap music genre song. This type of research is descriptive qualitative by using interview and observation techniques as well as content analysis. The results showed that the informants liked the halal remixes of the Deen Squad rap music genre because the rhythm was so dynamic and driving enthusiasm. The lyrics of the song Deen Squad can also explain to the world the stereotypes about Islam that they cannot express so far as young Muslims. This study found that Deen Squad songs are carrying messages of peace, telling the world that Islam is not a terrorist religion and that every streotype about Islam has a meaning.
