Hassan Yasser Drops Boom Bap-Trap Shaabi EP 'Ma3rfsh Bansa Wala La2a'
The Cairo-based artist stakes his claim in the rap scene with a feature-heavy EP. Jul 27, 2025 Cairo-based hip-hop artist Hassan Yasser, a new member of El Mexic crew, has recently released his debut EP, 'Ma3rfsh Bansa Wala La2a'. The four-track record slides through various sounds and styles of Hip-hop subgenres, going from boom bap to trap-shaabi, and culminating with a star-studded cypher mayhem. In the opener 'Wala La2a', produced by Hussien Yasser, Hassan delivers introspective, raw verses in a laid-back flow over a minimalist beat with hints of old-school boom bap, mapping his struggles with loss and loneliness as well as his constant search for meaning. The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Lil Baba, which is the rapper's debut behind the camera. On '1000 Hekaya' Dr. Mo3geza crafts a psychedelic-shaabi-inspired beat that pushes Hassan into new territories, showcasing his wide range and adaptability across a wide array of sounds. Meanwhile, 'El Shanta Feha Eh' is an explosive outro that brings together a stacked roster of Egyptian rap and shaabi heavyweights like Abyusif, Abo El Anwar, Lil Baba and 3enba into a mosh pit-enducing cypher, with production helmed by Hussein Yasser. Opening with Yasser's chat, 'قول يا حسن', the track is less about cohesion and more about controlled chaos, packed with punchy metaphors, satire and sharp social commentary on the local rap culture.

Combining theory and practice live on stage, the event traces the stages of mummification—material and metaphysical—unpacking its tools, substances, and ritual spells drawn from the Egyptian Books of the Afterlife. Far from a purely funerary act, the lecture repositions mummification as a sacred ritual uniting theology, science, and myth in a performance that is both intellectual and immersive.
