Beats of the Month | July

Beats of the Month is the latest series by SceneNoise, showcasing hip-hop production from across the MENA region. Each month, the series highlights the best beats from recent rap releases, focusing on innovative production and refreshing composition. The first edition of this playlist features beats by Omar Gangster on Afroto’s new album, 77’s beat for Sudanese rapper Montiyago’s ‘Bella Hadid’, and TUL8TE’s self-produced beat for ‘3ENEEKI LOON EL SAMA BELEIL’.

Producer 77 crafts a unified four-minute arrangement for Sudanese rapper Montiyago on his latest EP ‘Decor’. ‘Bella Hadid’ stands out for its eclectic production, fusing drum and bass percussion with flute samples and synth inserts that reinforce Montiyago’s flow.

TUL8TE shifts towards dreamy and lush production on his track ‘3ENEEKI LOON EL SAMA BELEIL’, featured on his second full-length album ‘Cocktail Aghany’. The track’s production features layered arrangements with spaced-out instrumentation leaning towards dream pop.

Also on the list is a rage banger by Omar Gangster for Afroto’s ‘WELAD EL MAGANEEN’, a track that features EDM elements coupled with heavy synth work. Omar Gangster introduces Afroto to a new sonic territory, adding a refreshing touch to his new album.
