System Ali are a rap group made up of young Jewish and Arab Israelis - unusual for the Middle East.

They sing about unity and co-existence in four languages - Hebrew, Arabic, English and Russian - and are trying to make it on the Israeli music scene.

They say the unique nature of the group sometimes means they face difficulties getting into venues to perform because security staff delay them outside.

Newsbeat's Duncan Crawford met them at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv in Israel.
