The Egyptian rapper talks about his connection to his hometown of Asyut, and his experience working on Red Bull’s ‘Sada Soot’.
Egyptian rapper and producer Arsenik has become a fan-favourite in the region’s music scene thanks to his precise lyricism and technical ability. Throughout his career, the self-taught artist has been representing the southern regions of Egypt with a style that combines his energetic vocal delivery with a wide range of hip-hop instrumentals.
In Red Bulls’s Sada Soot, Arsenik goes back to his hometown of Asyut to work with local musicians on a track that encapsulates the spirit of the city while making use of traditional instruments. In ‘Sada Soot Talks’, we caught up with the artist to dive deeper into the experience.
