Rap of the Week | Nov 3 - Nov 9

In the latest instalment of our flagship playlist, ‘Rap of the Week’, we round up the MENA region’s standout rap releases from the past week, featuring fresh cuts from Fawzi and Al Nather, Abo El Anwar, Bo9al and more.

Palestinian rapper Fawzi and visionary producer Al Nather join forces on their highly anticipated collaborative EP, ‘LE5A’. Meanwhile, Egyptian rapper L5VAV takes an unconventional route with his latest record, ‘Bahar’, bypassing traditional streaming platforms in favour of DIT, an interactive online platform that lets listeners explore the record through its musical stems and accompanying illustrations.

Iraqi-Canadian artist Narcy turns inward on ‘The Veil’, tracing his journey from childhood to underground icon status. The track serves as a preview of his upcoming record, ‘Yassin’.

The playlist also includes Gelba and MOUSV’s ‘EL HOB KEDB’, Bo9al’s ‘Capitaine’, and Saeed Beh Elqanas’ ‘Pele’.
