Molotof Debuts as Vocalist on Self-Made Project ‘Saradeeb'
The Egyptian producer steps into the spotlight with a raw track written, performed, and filmed by himself. May 28, 2025 Egyptian producer Molotof, the sonic force behind landmark trap cuts from Wegz and Marwan Pablo, is stepping into a new role with 'Saradeeb', a fully self-written, performed, and produced track that doubles as his vocal debut. Known for fusing hip-hop, folklore, and electronic music, Molotof now distills his sound into something more personal. 'Saradeeb' offers a raw vision of modern Egyptian art through his own voice. 'This isn't just a one-track moment,' Molotof tells SceneNoise. 'I have a whole phase of songs like this, all sung by me, that I've been reconstructing from old vaults.' True to the title (Arabic for 'basements'), 'Saradeeb' dives into darker, more internal spaces, a world built entirely by Molotof. The accompanying black-and-white video, shot and edited by the artist himself, mirrors this stripped-down intensity with stark visuals and confined frames.

El Masreyeen & Molotof Team Up: A Generational Sound Collision
Hani Shenouda and El Masreyeen join forces with Molotof to fuse Egypt's musical legacy with its underground future. May 20, 2025 Something is cooking in the studio: a rare collaboration between two distinct musical worlds. Hani Shenouda and his iconic band El Massrieen are teaming up with Molotof, Cairo's groundbreaking producer known for reshaping mahraganat and electronic music. For decades, El Massrieen shaped the sound of modern Egypt with their melodic, richly arranged pop. Shenouda's compositions gave Arabic music a modern edge. Molotof, meanwhile, has carved a path through Cairo's underground with collaborations with the biggest artists in the scene like Marwan Pablo, Wegz, and Ziad Zaza. 'This song is a reimagined track from El Massrieen,' Molotof shares. 'I'm going to be producing it and giving a twist to Hany Shenouda's iconic music.' But beyond the production, this collaboration merges the creative energies of two generations, each rooted in a different chapter of Egypt's musical evolution. 'I loved working with him, and with Mona from El Massrieen who is going to be singing,' Molotof continues. 'It's a collaboration between generations. I've loved their work for ages, they always blend music from the West and the East with a new twist, and it felt relevant to me.' 'I'm so happy and honoured with this collaboration, it's gonna be a surprise,' he adds. 'I loved hanging out with Hany, he's so funny and open to new ideas.' Together, they're reworking what Egyptian musical history sounds like in the now.
