Rap of the Week | April 28 - May 4

This week’s edition of our flagship playlist, Rap of the Week, is packed with fresh tunes from some of the region’s most exciting hip-hop artists, alongside standout cross-border collaborations, featuring the likes of DADA, Namiro and Fawzi.

Ramallah-based rapper and member of the trailblazing Palestinian BLTNM crew, Fawzi, links up with the acclaimed Irish hip-hop group Kneecap on their new album, Fenian, with a track titled ‘Palestine’. Meanwhile, Tunisian producer and composer Ratchopper and rapper Namiro come through with ‘Kridi Le’, a pointed reflection on the Tunisian youth culture as part of their upcoming collaborative EP, S.Y.N CITY, while Moroccan rappers Damost and DADA deliver a playful, laid-back cut hip-hop cut ‘Skippi’.

On the Egyptian front, hip-hop producer Omar Keif releases ‘CITY’, the penultimate single of his highly-anticipated debut album, 001, featuring Ismailia rap star MOUSV. Meanwhile, Hala Sherif joins Intomymind on ‘Callin’, and FLEX returns with a punchy, aggressive rap tune, ‘Abo El Sohab’.
