Rap of the Week | Sep 15 - Sep 21
This week's playlist features new music from some of the region's top rappers, such as Draganov, TIF and Abyusif.
In this week’s instalment of ‘Rap of the Week’, we have a selection of new releases from some of MENA’s top rappers, such as Draganov, TIF, Didine Canon 16 and Abyusif.
Sudanese rapper Soulja makes a comeback with a new album, 0 Views, while Algerian rapper TIF and Moroccan rapper Draganov link up on an UFUL, a three-track EP that fuses warm organic instrumentation with sleek contemporary melodic rap, trading percussive bars over sun-drenched aesthetics.
Algerian rap heavyweight Didine Canon 16 returns with another punchy cut, ‘Hotel Room’, while Egyptian powerhouse Abyusif surprise-drops ‘Chroma', a dark cerebral track that leans into meta-commentary on the regional rap scene, produced by long-time collaborator Lil Baba.
The playlist also includes R3 with ‘Ba7’, Ilham with ‘YES$$’, and KAZ with ‘Mafi Skoot’.
