Shabak Samech (Hebrew: שבק"ס,שב"ק סמך) (aka Shabak S) is one of the first recognized hip-hop groups to come out of Israel.[2][3] Their sound is primarily hip-hop, but it includes elements of rapcore, dancehall, ska, and funk.[4] Their sound has been compared to the Beastie Boys[5] and Rage Against the Machine.[6] The group had two and three vocalists (Fuck A and Miro being replaced by Nimi Nim for their second album, Be'atifa shel Mamatak), two guitarists, a drummer and a bassist. The group placed minimal reliance on beats and samples.
The word Shabak as it is written in Hebrew (שבק) is a misspelling of the Hebrew acronym for the Internal General Security Service of Israel.[citation needed]
