With over $20 million going from fans directly to artists thus far, Bandcamp’s monthly day of fee-waiving has played a huge role in keeping thousands of independent musicians and labels’ heads above water during the Corona pandemic.

There are few genres of music that are as universally enjoyed as rap/hip-hop. Why that's the case is a question for another day, but with the remarkable boom in rap music in the Middle East, we teamed up with music steaming platform, Anghami, to dig deeper and find out who and what fans in the are hooked on, in regard to both international rappers and, more interestingly, regional ones.
