Billy Tstrk Drops Rage-Infused Single 'SORRYMABE7KE3ARABE'
A synth-driven rage beat where Billy delivers overly satirical bars with a nonchalant attitude.
Lebanese underground rapper-producer Billy Tstrk is back with a refreshing new single, ‘SORRYMABE7KE3ARABE’ (Sorry I Don’t Speak Arabic), following a strong streak of singles he’s been putting out this year, in which he’s taken his sound further into darker sonic territories. By infusing gritty, distorted elements into his production, Billy continues to solidify his position as one of the underground rap heroes in the Lebanese and Arab scene.
‘SORRYMABE7KE3ARABE’ is a synth-driven rage beat where Billy delivers overly satirical bars with a nonchalant attitude. His voice, muffled and dripping in effects, veers close to incomprehensibility which ultimately defines the rapper’s signature sound. The track’s beat feels like a drugged-out version of a Pi’erre Bourne production, with a psychedelic atmosphere juxtaposed by gritty bass, compressed 808s and static drum patterns.
Billy Tstrk has long been building his sound, anchored in aggressive, punk-influenced beats that still retain a distinct aesthetic. His style is bold, yet he remains open to unconventional approaches, blending precise flows with cynical, sarcastic lyrics that switch between social commentary - critiquing and reaffirming Lebanese identity and culture - and playful wordplay, creating lyrical collages that are as absurd as they are engaging.
