Our region is brimming with good music. With each year surpassing the one before it in terms of technique, style, and sound quality, artists from all corners of the Arab World continue to provide listeners with the sounds and stories they want to be represented by. And as they work tirelessly towards putting out their best, we couldn’t help but imagine how 2025 can be even more unforgettable. So, here’s our way of pitching in: a list of dream collaborations we’d love to see become reality in the next 12-months.
NADINE EL ROUBI x SZA
Because it’s the crossover we’re all waiting for. With both artists already showing love to each other online, it only makes sense for them to link up and drop a track together. We’ll be here for it when it happens. *manifesting*
TIF x EL WAILI
A match made in heartbreak heaven. Imagine a laid-back beat, heavy with cloudy vibes, backed with El Waili’s signature deep, electro-infused sound. Now add TIF’s Rai-inspired flow and love-drenched lyrics into the mix, and to us, that’s a hit waiting to happen.
DISCO MISR x SOULJA
When Soulja taps into the vibe he’s on in Hageega, he’s untouchable. Leaning a little more into pop than usual, the nostalgic rhythm of the beat feels like something Disco Misr could emulate—while giving it their own twist. If it ever materialized, it’d be on everyone’s dating playlists within minutes of its release.
LOYLE CARNER x NOUR
This one’s for those cozy nights spent in or those long walks when the world feels a little small. Imagine Loyle Carner’s honest, heartfelt bars with Nour’s dream-pop influence— a feature that feels like it’s meant to soundtrack your quietest, most reflective moments.
BIG MURK x ABDUH
Why hasn’t this happened yet? It’s so obvious— a track with these two is long overdue. But when it does go down, we need it to be the grimiest and hardest song to ever be cooked up.
BO9AL x AFROTO
Bars, energy, speed, flow—they’re made for one another. Put them together, and we bet they’d be able to crank out a full project in just hours.
A.L.A x BABY GANG
Pure vibes. Picture this as 2025’s answer to Lacrim and French Montana’s AWA—a high-energy blend of trap, heavy chains, booming bass, and punchlines firing off non-stop for a solid three and a half minutes. Sure, it might not stand the test of time, but while it’s dominating playlists, it’ll do exactly what it’s meant to: get heads nodding and fingers in the air.
