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.

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.

Lil Baba Steps Out of Character on New Single ‘Kol El Ana 3aizo'
The track spirals into a dissociative haze, one where Lil Baba's vocals float lazily over a minimal hip-hop beat. May 29, 2025 Earlier this week, Egyptian producer-turned-rapper Lil Baba teased a new single, 'Kol El Ana 3aizo', on his Instagram with surrealist, warped visuals - like a VHS tape left out in the sun for too long. For an artist who is easily identifiable for his light-hearted musical ideas, always curious and open-minded, bouncing as much between popular trends as unconventional sounds, 'Kol El Ana 3aizo' is a break from character for Lil Baba. The track spirals into a dissociative haze, one where Lil Baba's vocals, laced with reverb and delay, float lazily over a minimal hip-hop beat and descend into what feels like a sleep paralysis set to a beat. The lyrics carry the same sense of sonic detachment, where Lil Baba faces hypocrisy with nonchalance. 'Kol El Ana 3aizo' marks the first preview single from his upcoming new EP, scheduled for release this year.
