In this edition of our Rap of the Week playlist, we dive into the latest music releases from across the MENA region to spotlight the most intriguing hip-hop tracks around, showcasing fresh sounds from both the mainstream and the underground. This week's lineup features new music from Lege-Cy, Papii and Hleem Taj Elser.

Kicking off the playlist is Lege-Cy’s latest track, ‘Center’, a string-driven, self-produced beat where the Tanta native wastes no time displaying his sharp and vindictive artistry. His punchy, precise bars cut through the instrumental, solidifying his presence in the rap scene. Along the way, Lege-Cy delivers subtle shots at the industry while hinting at more "heat" to come in his next album.

We also highlight ‘Monaliza’, the latest release from rising Sudanese talent Papii, featuring Hleem Taj Elser. Produced by XTHEDESERTKID, the track boasts heavy trap instrumentation as the two rappers trade dynamic verses, showcasing their chemistry and lyrical prowess.

Rounding out the playlist, we have Uglymoss with his new track ‘Akher El Tare2’, A.L.A with ‘Nsit Noum’, and Waja33 featuring Billy Tstrk on ‘Lira’.
