Wegz Rejects Mass Appeal on ‘Khesert El Sha3b'
The Egyptian rap icon reflects on his current status in the Egyptian rap scene, highlighting that he's cut ties with the people, aka 'el sha3b', in favour of his own artistic vision. Jun 01, 2025 After a brief moment of silence, Egyptian rap superstar Wegz makes a bold statement with his new single, 'Khesert El Sha3b'. Over a chill, laid-back flow, Wegz delivers fiery bars with a nonchalant attitude of someone who is utterly sure of himself. Through clever wordplay and double entendres, changing schemes every four bars, he reflects on his current status in the Egyptian rap scene, highlighting that he's cut ties with the people, aka 'el sha3b', in favour of his own artistic vision. He's simply not chasing after mass appeal - rather, he's driving in his own lane, making the music that he wants to make, irrespective of what people might think of it. The track's intricate production, helmed by Wegz's long-time collaborator Moustafa Moustafa, is minimalist and without unnecessary polish, carried by a classic rap beat with crisp hi-hats, subtle kicks and alterations in the drum loop. Towards the end of the two-minute track, Wegz spits out a sneaky bridge with an indirect reference to Pablo's 'El Mabd2'. With razor-sharp verses, he calls out copycat artists, a brutal diss in response to a heated beef he recently had on social media with two of his contemporaries. The track's pixel artwork, featuring a crown symbol and an equestrian, mirrors Wegz's assertiveness and lyrical command, that he will always remain the champ of the race in the rap scene.

Top MENA Artists Push Beyond the ‘Female' Prefix at ‘Women in Music'
Top MENA Artists Push Beyond the 'Female' Prefix at 'Women in Music' Co-hosted by SceneNoise, Little Pink Book, Takwene, and Yellow Tape Records, 'Women in Music' brought together some of Egypt's top artists and music industry professionals. Looking back on the first 'Women in Music' event in Cairo, a first-of-its-kind intimate gathering, co-hosted by SceneNoise, Little Pink Book and Takwene at Yellow Tape Records, Maadi, which brought together some of Egypt's top artists and industry professionals to connect, inspire and celebrate the women shaping the region's music scene. As part of the event program, SceneNoise curated an artist-focused panel, titled 'Beyond the 'Female' Prefix: Artists Pushing the Envelope of the MENA's Music Scene.' At this panel, which was moderated by Munky Elbakry, MO4's Managing Director, the spotlight was on five influential Arab female artists: Maii Waleed, Blu Fiefer, Dina El Wedidi, Perrie, and WAVE. We heard their stories, inspirations, and career journeys, as well as their viewpoints on the region's music industry and what needs to be changed. The panellists also shared valuable insights and key strategies on how emerging female artists can break barriers, grow their careers, assert themselves in the scene and push their music to global prominence. Lebanese artist and founder of the independent record label Mafi Budget, Blu Fiefer, discussed how creating 'female-only' playlists can be limiting, as it boxes artists into a separate category rather than integrating them into mainstream industry conversations. Egyptian folk sensation Dina El Wedidi reflected on the lack of experimentation within the music scene, advising emerging talents to take risks, embrace new sounds, and prioritize their artistic vision instead of playing it safe. She also emphasized the need for social media platforms to support and enable such experimentation.
