What's popular and why

Tunisia's 2011 revolution kicked off the Arab Spring. Three years later, however, many young Tunisians feel that nothing has changed.

Millions went to the polls last week in Tunisia's latest free elections, but at the same time, a rap critical of the system has been trending on YouTube, as young hip-hop artist Klay BBJ tunes in to the post-revolution blues blighting many of his peers.
