DAM primarily writes and sings in the Arabic language. However, they have also often used Hebrew and English. Both languages have been used in portions of Arabic songs and as full, standalone songs. The members of DAM compose their lyrics and music by themselves. DAM's work and art are influenced by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the struggle for equal rights for Palestinians or Arab Israelis inside Israel. The group's songs deal with social, political and personal issues.
In 2016 Nafar starred in the drama film Junction 48 as Kareem, a Lod-born Palestinian rapper struggling with personal and political issues in his life.

Views expressed through music
DAM's 2001 song "Min Erhabi" has been criticized in Israel for its chorus which compares the Israeli government to Nazism:
Democracy? Why? It reminds me of the Nazis; You've raped the Arab soul And it became pregnant; Giving birth to a child called terror attack; And then you call us terrorists.
Channels of Rage
In 2003, Nafar and rapper Subliminal participated in the documentary Channels of Rage by Anat Halachmi.
In 2000, following the collapse of the Camp David 2000 Summit and the beginning of the Second Intifada, the pair's relationship collapsed due to highly divergent political beliefs, with Subliminal being more right-wing and a nationalist, in contrast with Nafar's sympathy for the Palestinian cause. The bitter end of their music relationship is chronicled in the documentary.
When interviewed during Channels of Rage, Nafar compared the treatment of Palestinian-Israelis to the Holocaust. Additionally, he said that if Hamas is to be considered a terrorist organization, then so should the IDF.
