Abyusif Drops New Track ‘Reda' Produced by Lil Baba
Cairo's rap heavyweight Abyusif teams up with Lil Baba for a gritty new track that brings the heat back to Egyptian rap. Jun 04, 2025 Egyptian rap titan Abyusif has returned with a hard-hitting new track, 'Reda', produced by none other than Lil Baba, the mastermind behind some of the region's biggest hits. Reda sees both artists tap into the raw energy that defined Abyusif's sound, while bringing in Lil Baba's polished textures. The result is a track that feels both minimal and sharp-edged, anchored by clipped snare and Abyusif's signature delivery. Abyusif moves between paranoia, isolation, and survival with lines like: 'مش بحس غير بأبويا، مش بحس بأي ندم' 'I only feel my father. I don't feel any regret.' The second verse shifts into something even more personal, as he reflects on love lost and brutal self-awareness: 'كنت فاكر إني داخل عمر وسلمى، بس طلع بعد الفراق' 'I thought I was living a rom-com, but it turned out to be post-breakup fallout.' Whether snarling through verses or swerving into unexpected flows, Abyusif proves once again that he's still in a league of his own. Lil Baba's beat holds steady, letting every word land with weight.
