Hadag Nahash (or HaDag Nachash) (Hebrew:הדג נחש) is a successful Israeli hip-hop group. The group is known for their leftist political statements in many of their songs.[citation needed] Four albums have been recorded to date, and a fifth is rumored to be in progress[citation needed]. They have 7 members; their lead rapper and founder is Shaanan Streett.

The group's name literally means "The Snake Fish" ("Ha" meaning "the", "Dag" meaning "fish", and "Nachash" meaning "snake"). It is also, however, a Hebrew spoonerism. In Israel, people who have only recently gotten their driver's licences place a tag on their back window with the words "Nahag Chadash" Hebrew: נהג חדש ("new driver"). The anagram "HaDag Nachash" therefore indicates the group's ambitions: a voice for the youth in Israel[citation needed]. Band members have also claimed that signs that look similar to Nahag Chadash with the band's name will be placed in cars to confuse Policemen.[citation needed]
