Rap of the Week | April 15 - April 20

In the latest edition of SceneNoise’s flagship playlist, ‘Rap of the Week’, highlighting the standout new releases across hip-hop and its subgenres from the Middle East and North Africa region and its diaspora, we have fresh picks from rap heavyweight like Draganov, Abo El Anwar and Connan.

Moroccan rap superstar Draganov makes a commanding comeback with a double release ‘Pavarotti x Ghalta’, combining two tracks in one cinematic music video that highlights his artistic range. Meanwhile Sudanese rapper Connan comes through with a punchy, flex-maxxing cut, ‘Gang Gang’, while Egypt’s Abo El Anwar delivers a refreshing take on his classic trap sound on ‘Abo El Rogola’. 

The playlist also features rising stars like HYPE with an introspective-leaning tune ‘Nicotine’, Yonyo with ‘Beny W Benak’, and Saudi femcee linking up with French producer Noir Pixel on powerful single ‘Asli’.
