UAE BASED RAPPERS




  • Adamillion : From Somalia. Raps in Arabic. 

  • FREEK : Originally from Somalia but born and raised in the UAE. He was initially based in Abu Dhabi, but later on moved to Dubai. He's one of the few rappers in Dubai that performs in Arabic and is someone with a lot of passion on stage.





  • FADL: Originally from Palestine, but raised in Dubai. Fadl reflects that "new" wave of Hip-Hop 


  • Moh Flow: Originally Syrian. One of the most hard working artists in the region. Someone with an incredible body of work and an artist that has established himself in the city.



  • The Recipe: Probably the oldest rap group in Dubai. They started as a collective of creatives in order to empower & push the scene forward. They consist of 3 rappers (Swerte, P. Storm & Kaz Money) - With their hardcore lyrics and amazing beats, they for sure hold a special place in Dubai Hip-Hop simply because they have seen it evolve & grow till what it is today




  • Tac: Egyptian based in Dubai. I call him the young BEAST. 



  • Seki (Izzy) : Half Omani/Half Filipino, Izzy is part of creatives/rappers/singers that has paved their own path and are working together to establish themselves. 





  • Jaysus Zain: Sudanese via Libya. Jaysus is a spoken word artist and an incredible lyricist. He has yet to drop anything digitally. He's for sure one of the top rappers in the city for the passion and lyrics he brings to the table  


  • KC Hamada: Originally Iraqi/Iranian, but born and raised in Dubai. Very keen on word play.

  • Saad Brizzy: Lebanese Artist based in Dubai. Mixed R&B with Rap
