Rap of the Week | Aug 12 - Aug 18

We’re back with another instalment of our Rap of the Week playlist, highlighting standout new drops that came out across the Middle East and North Africa over the past week.

This week’s selection features Palestinian rapper and BLTNM mainstay R3D teaming up with prolific producer Smokaholic on ‘Khadar’.

Hailing from Saudi Arabia, producer and songwriter Ntitled and Riyadh-based rising rapper Grzzlee released a hazy, introspective cut, ‘Faith II’.

Algerian veteran MC Didine Canon 16 returns with cheeky rap-meets-cinema crossover, ‘Monica Bellucci’, while Egyptian rap star MOUSV fires back at his rivals with sharp-biting satire on ‘Alo Alo’.

The playlist also features picks from Asayel, MOUSV, Omar Mado, and more.
