Egyptian Artist Batistuta Lifts the Veil in Stylish New Short Documentary Film ‘The Magician’

When he’s not engaging in cross-city rap beefs, Alexandria native, Batistuta, can rightly claim to be one of the Egyptian coastal city’s most prolific producers. A man of many talents, he’s stepping out of the studio more and more as a rapper and act of his own, having produced for fellow Alexandrians, Wegz and Afroto, among many others.

As part of this coming out, so to speak, the rapper/producer has put together a rather sleek and stylishly shot short documentary that gives fans a sneak peek behind the scenes of an artist who is on the rise. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/icu1I3JvB30" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> At just under three minutes, The Magician is certainly very brief. But under the directorship of Shehab Eldeen Ashraf, it manages to capture several sides of the artist’s life; he talks about music saving him, we see clips of him performing and there’s one very sweet voice message at the end to give you the feels.
