Egyptian rapper Ahmed Santa returns with his third full-length album 'Ahmed Falta', following a series of singles that paved the way for his largest project to date. The album consists of 14 tracks, featuring collaborations with artists such as Lil Baba, Abo El Anwar, Lege-Cy and Hussein Yasser, alongside production from long-time collaborator Mo3geza.
In 'Ahmed Falta', Santa explores a range of beats and sonic landscapes that deviate from his usual style. The album moves from experimental rap to rage and beyond, while Santa remains true to his distinct lyrical approach. The opener, 'Intro', features a humorous twist on Nancy Ajram’s 'Ebn El Geran', with Santa altering the lyrics to reflect his current status in the music scene. This sets the tone for an album that blends serious themes with satire and humor.
On the production side, Mo3geza crafts beats that push Santa into new territories without straying too far from his roots. Santa navigates these diverse sounds with ease, showcasing his versatility and proving his ability to flow over any beat with precision.
Tracks like ‘Heya De El Denya', featuring Lil Baba, highlight Santa’s more introspective side, as he reflects on personal struggles and his experiences with fame. In contrast, on 'Ahmed Falta', Santa delivers one of his most aggressive performances, spitting bars with a raw intensity that borders on growling. Though the delivery might seem over-the-top, Santa executes it with confidence.
Lege-Cy makes a notable appearance on 'Mesh Mestahmel Had', where Santa delivers reflective lyrics over a guitar-driven beat from Mo3geza. Lege-Cy’s signature style complements Santa’s verse, elevating the track toward its conclusion.
Throughout 'Ahmed Falta', Santa showcases his versatility as a rapper while offering a diverse yet cohesive hip-hop experience. The feature-heavy album underscores his lyrical prowess and adaptability across a wide array of beats, making it a standout release in his career.
