Can you tell us more about your background? I’ve been fascinated with Rap music and Hip-Hop as a culture at an early age, but I’ve only started writing my first raps around the late years of my teenage. I was 18 years old when I recorded my first demo back in 2007 at a friend’s home studio. Although it took me 4 years before I decided to drop my first single 'Cazafonia' on YouTube. Today, after almost 10 years of self-grounding and with the help of a solid discography, I must admit that I’m proud of the status I’ve reached in the Moroccan Rap. How did you manage to reach an international level? I think my obsession with details alongside with the high standards I set for the quality of production, has allowed me to build a distinct sound print and visual identity. I guess my audience knows that they can’t expect anything but top-notch quality music with top-grade visuals. I’ve always aimed at delivering music videos that aspire to challenge international massive industries, despite the humble budgets we devote to making it. Do you feel it like a pressure sometimes like “I’m not allowed to fail”? Always. Appreciation comes with responsibility; every move must be very well calculated. It’s hard to get to the top, staying at it’s a hundred times harder. I saw that people were feeling inspired and understood by you through your lyrics. Is something important for you to give a universal message to your audience? I think one of the main assets of my music is staying connected to the streets. My hood has been always my main source of inspiration. The bond that keeps me attached to my audience is the ability to tell their different stories through every song from an insider point of view.
