Anyone would probably agree with us saying that, musically at least, the region we call home is experiencing a new golden age. Rap and hip-hop are now taking center stage, pushing Raï, Chaabi, and other traditional genres into the background as today, it’s the mix of beats and bars that’s making our youth throw gun-fingers and bop their heads. And while our parents only had a handful of artists to admire, we’re fortunate to live in an era overflowing with microphone champions.
From a wider perspective, it’s true that we’re blessed with an endless stream of talent that we never have to settle for mediocrity in music again. That said, with new artists constantly popping up left and right, keeping up with the hottest act of the moment can often feel like a daunting task. That’s why we put together a non-comprehensive list of rappers you need to add to your playlists stat.
Below, 17 under-the-radar Arab rappers you need to know– the 2024 edition.
