Lege-Cy & Ziad Zaza Drop Arabic Pop Banger 'Wala Meen'

After a week of teasing on social media, starting with a studio photo before sending TikTok into a frenzy with short snippets of the new single, Zaza and Lege-Cy have finally released their long-awaited collaboration, ‘Wala Meen’, and it might just become the soundtrack of the summer for us.

Co-produced by Kingoo and Zaza’s long-time collaborator Ismail Nosrat, the track showcases a noticeable sonic shift for both artists. Known for their sharp wordplay and punchy delivery, the Egyptian rap stars step out of their usual lanes, blurring the lines between trap and Arabic pop to explore a more melodic, catchy sound, all wrapped in slick, bass-driven production imbued with distortion and trap muscle. 

This isn’t their first foray into a softer sound. Earlier this year, Lege-Cy dropped ‘Law Nasyany’, also produced by Nosrat, which hinted at his expanding range. Meanwhile, for Zaza, ‘Wala Meen’ is another step in his series of sonic experiments, as he went from the rage-fueled energy of ‘525’ to the minimalism of ‘EZ’ and his dabbling in shaabi influences on tracks like ‘Ana Ayesh West Modmenen’.
