Rap of The Week | September 01-07

On this edition of Rap of The Week, we bring you brand-new regional releases from the likes of Egyptian rap star Marwan Moussa, whose latest album ‘Import//Export’ explores both Western and Arabic hip-hop sonics. We also feature the latest from Dzel Uzi and Arsenik, who have just released their latest summer bop ‘De Bruyne’, where they take turns delivering laid back flows over the feelgood instrumental.
