Ya’akov “Kobi” Shimoni (Hebrew: יעקב “קובי” שמעוני) (born November 13, 1979), commonly known by his rap name Subliminal (Hebrew: סאבלימינל), is an Israeli rap artist and music producer. He and the stable of artists on his label, TACT Records, are the best-selling Israeli musical group of all time, with over 10 #1 hit singles in Israel and over 1 million records sold worldwide to date, and TACT Records is Israel’s largest music label.

Background:

Subliminal was born in Tel Aviv, Israel to a mother from Mashhad, Iran and a father from Tunisia. Subliminal started performing music at age 12, and at age 15 met Yoav Eliasi. The two quickly became friends as a result of their mutual love of hip-hop.

In 1995 the two began performing in Israeli clubs geared toward a hip-hop audience, wearing baggy clothes and gold chains. They quickly developed a following among the nation’s youth, and soon put out their first album, “The Light From Zion”.

After the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000 the two began writing patriotic songs. They became known as creators of “Zionist hip-hop”, a label still applied to them. In further contrast to the generally rebellious, “outlaw” nature of most hip-hop, they also praise army service and eschew drugs and smoking.

Subliminal’s being the son of Jewish refugees is at the core of his hard-line politics.
