Emerging Egyptian producer Omar Gangster makes a significant breakthrough with a blockbuster album that features some of the most prominent rap stars in the Egyptian music scene, including Abyusif, Abo El Anwar, Arsenik and Hala.
Having established his reputation with production credits for numerous artists - particularly rappers - over the past two years, the Mansoura native has solidified his position as one of the most talented producers active today. With production credits on Afroto’s last album and exclusive projects for Hala Sherif and Hazem Koshary, Omar Gangster continues the trend of producer-driven albums that has been gaining momentum in the region.
His production style can be described as a larger-than-life soundscape, characterized by heavy synth-driven beats, EDM influences and a genre-blending approach. The album also marks the return of DizzyTooSkinny on the track ‘Block’, brings in the Tunisian duo Dabl De on ‘Drari’, and includes a cypher feature. Additionally, Omar Gangster showcases emerging talent with Young Giza and Hassa1 on ‘Mafesh Mno’, while shaabi legend Ortega collaborates with Dokhan and IntoMyMind on ‘Basha’.
With this album, Omar Gangster further establishes himself as a producer with a conceptual vision, curating a selection of artists and producers for a star-studded release that spans rap moguls to rising talents, all contributing to his vision for Egyptian hip-hop.
