Jun 06, 2025
After a three-year public feud and what felt like a serious rap beef, Ziad Zaza and FLEX (formerly of Maadi Town Mafia) have finally buried the hatchet, reuniting on a surprise collaborative track, 'Sebny Ala Dool.'
Produced by La Sauce and mixed and mastered by Kingo, the track fuses playful bravado with streetwise wit, capturing the duo's dynamic swagger and charisma. Over a classic drill beat, FLEX and Ziad Zaza trade verses that are as cheeky as they are sharp, filled with clever wordplay, riffing on loyalty, friendship, street culture and personal triumphs.
Shortly after the feud between Zaza and M Town Mafia, FLEX publicly announced his departure from the group, signalling his disapproval of M Town's actions. With 'Sebny Al Dool', Zaza and FLEX are subtly releasing a clear statement; a nod to a clean slate for both of them and the end of a long-time rivalry.
The music video for 'Sebny Ala Dool', directed by Sobhy, was shot in Zaza's hometown, El Sheikh Hassan district in Al Fayoum.
