Sudanese Breakout Rapper Walgz Set for Explosive Dubai Debut at The Fridge with 'The Shutdown'
Rising Sudanese rapper Walgz is bringing his signature energy and Sudanese trap sound to Dubai for the first time, headlining a one-night-only show titled 'The Shutdown', a limited-capacity event crafted for an intimate, high-intensity experience. The show takes place on Saturday, May 3rd at The Fridge, Alserkal Avenue.
Known for viral hits like 'Sasa' and 'Hollanda', Walgz has become one of the most talked-about artists in the region, with recent appearances at MDLBEAST's Soundstorm Festival in Saudi Arabia and Cairo Jazz Club in Egypt.
Joining him on stage is Fodi (aka Tmsa7), a multi-talented Sudanese artist and producer who's quickly gaining regional recognition for his fusion of trap, afrobeat, and Sudanese influences. Fodi will deliver a unique double performance — live renditions of his original tracks, alongside a debut DJ set featuring Afro House and electronic beats.

Sudanese Artist Mvndila Returns With Summer R&B EP ‘Roshetta'
Across four tracks, the Sudanese artist experiments freely with new flows, showcasing a free-spirited side of his storytelling. May 31, 2025 Sudanese rapper, singer and songwriter Mvndila has recently unveiled his first project of 2025, a refreshing, laid-back R&B EP 'Roshetta' with a potent dose of summer vibes. Having grown up between Sudan and Saudi Arabia, Mvndila has carved a distinctive sound, that as personal as it is experimental, layering various influences and textures from classical Haqeeba and country to hip-hop and R&B to produce emotional storytelling that captures the highs, lows and in-betweeness of being a young Sudanese artist in the modern world. Now, with 'Roshetta', Mvndila is charting a new course where he showcases a lighter, more free-spirited side of his storytelling. While the EP's moniker is a playful nod to Mvndila's academic background in medicine, the project, at its core, is far from being clinical. Across four tracks, he experiments freely with new flows, delivering a breezy blend of singing and rapping that feels tailor-made for late-night drives in summer days. Co-produced by Zer0 and Wazic, with 7sn XOB helming the sound engineering, the EP blends reggaeton influences with classic R&B textures into one melodic and cohesive collection that highlights Mvndila's expansive songwriting range.

The lineup will also feature Cairo's selector Sareena, Contrasté, with Femaledjkhaled –one-third of the IASC trio–on closing duties. Doors open at 8 PM.
