Rap of the Week | Jan 27 - 3 Feb

In this edition of our Rap of the Week playlist, we bring you the latest hip-hop releases from across the MENA region and beyond, highlighting standout rap cuts across various sub-genres, countries, and styles. This edition features new music from Laila Beshara, Lege-Cy and Soulja.

On the playlist, we have the latest release from Cairene rapper Laila Beshara with her track ‘Moshkela;. Over a drum & bass and garage-infused instrumental produced by Amr Omar, Laila delivers precise bars, effortlessly switching between a dreamy vibe and an assertive tone. The track offers a glimpse into what she has been working on lately, perhaps hinting at an upcoming project.

Lege-Cy surprises fans with a full album drop, ‘BGD’, taking a notably different approach with boom-bap production reminiscent of Madlib’s style. From the album, we highlight ‘Ehda’, a freestyle where Lege-Cy returns to his heavy rapping roots, showcasing sharper-than-ever lyricism.

Also on the playlist, we have new releases from Soulja with ‘3enya’, Omar Tesla & Khaled Plz on ‘Mtrsh’, and Synaptik, Karim Osama, and Asayel with ‘Hena’.
