Ramoon: Inside the Rise of One of Morocco’s Biggest Producers
DimaTOP sat down exclusively with Ramoon, one of Morocco’s most streamed producers, to break down his rise, global placements, and the discipline behind the hits. In his own words: the craft, the credits, and why Morap needs to stay rooted but reach far.
Few names embody Morocco’s new wave of production like Ramoon. Born in Rabat, raised in Salé, and now holding court in Marrakech, he’s the force behind high-energy anthems that slide from Darija rap to Afro-diasporic pop without losing their Moroccan core. His catalog is a mix of scene-defining local collabs (7liwa’s Torres, 7ARI’s 101, Stormy’s Khoya) and chart-topping global plays (6ix9ine’s YAYA; Darell’s Lollipop, later remixed with Ozuna and Maluma). Add composer credits, mixing chops, and a top-0.1% songwriter/producer ranking on platforms like Muso.ai, and it’s clear why he’s called one of Morocco’s most impactful homegrown hitmakers.
Below, Ramoon speaks directly, on crafting 7ARI’s 101 in weeks, why “beatmaker” undersells his role, and how a YouTube upload landed him a 6ix9ine placement. Plus: hard data on his biggest records to prove how far Moroccan production can travel.

Who is Ramoon? Biography, Scope, and Why He Matters Right Now
Ramoon is a producer and sound engineer whose signature lies in fusing traditional African and Moroccan rhythms with hip-hop, R&B, dancehall, Afrobeat, and amapiano. He’s worked in depth with Morocco’s frontline rappers like 7liwa, 7ARI, Stormy, Draganov, Mocci and has extended his reach with international credits alongside Teto (Minha Vida é um Filme), AP Dhillon (Bora Bora), Vacra (Nanchaku), Russ (Bornfire), 6ix9ine (Yaya), Darell (Lollipop), Saske (ENA VRADI), and Sidarta (Mediterranean).
More than “just a beatmaker,” he is hands-on across arrangement, composition, recording direction, and sometimes mixing, which is why he insists on the title producer, not merely beatmaker. In a scene that began spotlighting Moroccan producers as culture leaders around 2015-1018, Ramoon’s ascent aligns with the moment beatmakers moved from the shadows to the forefront and Moroccan rap entered the streaming-era big leagues.
How did Ramoon and 7ARI Make the “101” Album in Four Weeks?
Ramoon speaks on his process with 7ARI: “We recorded the album in about four weeks between December and January. We actually cut 18 singles, but decided to drop 12. Attention spans have changed, we used to live with an album for a year; now listeners move on in a week. I’d rather give a tight record you replay than a long tracklist people abandon.”
Ramoon also speaks on his studio chemistry with 7ARI: “7ari and I connect fast. Sicne day one, we just talked, no music. The first track we made was ‘101’ (we never released it). Then came ‘Matal3ach’ (a house-infused beat), ‘W’, and ‘Phenomenal’. After those, I suggested an album because the vibe was that strong. He trusts me when I put on the producer hat, not just making beats, but directing the record’s arc. 7ari is super fun and upbeat, he matches my energy and the bounce I like to build.”

What’s Ramoon’s Production Philosophy? Producer vs. Beatmaker
Ramoon on why he insists on “producer,” not “beatmaker”: “A beat is just the starting point. I like being involved in structure, takes, topline ideas, and the bigger vision: sonics, pacing, transitions. That’s production. It’s a different responsibility than emailing loops.”
Ramoon on whether he reads comments: “I don’t read comments that much. People often default to comparisons that flatten the music. Even when something is strong, they pit it against something else to degrade it. I prefer staying focused on the work.”
What’s Ramoon’s Advice on Credits, Royalties, and Protecting Work?
Ramoon on how producers can protect themselves in Morocco’s growing industry: “Push for full credit and proper royalties. Always sign your papers, split sheets, producer agreements, and as you scale, keep a lawyer nearby. Work gets stolen or ‘re-made’ sometimes; it happens. The pros still outweigh the cons, but protection is part of professionalism. Producers belong in the forefront, we cook dope beats; respect and money should match that.”
Ramoon on balancing networking with the grind: “Discipline over nightlife. The hours I could spend at clubs or cafés, I spend them in the studio polishing the craft. But it’s not isolation, I connect with those who value time, and I still put the music out into the world. To all producers our there, upload your beats. That’s literally how 6ix9ine found my beat on YouTube. You create, you publish, and let the internet connect the dots.”
Ramoon: The Moroccan Hitmaker in the 0.1% Elite
Ramoon stands undisputed as one of Morocco’s biggest producers, with receipts to prove it. His credentials speak volumes: a top-0.1% ranking on Muso.ai among credited songwriters/producers, multi-market chart wins tied to his productions, and a sustained run with Morocco’s most-streamed artists. More importantly, his impact is visible in two hard-proof international signals: 6ix9ine’s YAYA (2020) and Darell’s Lollipop (2023/remix 2024).
6ix9ine — YAYA
Roles: producer; credited songwriter
Streams: 90M+ on Spotify, 350M+ plays on YouTube Music

Darell — Lollipop (original + remix with Ozuna & Maluma)

For a Moroccan producer to touch records that hit #1 in multiple Latin markets and multi-platinum in the US Latin program is not that common, it’s proof of transcontinental relevance.

Morap and Where do Moroccan Sounds Fit in Ramoon’s Vision
Ramoon on Morap’s relationship to Morocco’s musical DNA: “Morap should be rooted in local sounds but feel familiar to the international ear. I’m all in on that push, we just need to be careful about balance: keep the Moroccan identity in the rhythm and timbre, but use forms and textures that the world already understands.”
On blending Moroccan folk with global genres: “I gravitate to pairings that share a spiritual or percussive core. I was one of the first to put amapiano with gnawa, both have that trance, cyclical energy. ‘Echoes of Dust’ came after a TikTok rabbit hole: I mixed Aita with Afrobeats because both carry aggressive, communal cadences. I have a lot of unreleased hybrids in that lane. Just like reggaeton reached us, our music should reach them.”
Ramoon on global artists noticing Arabic and North African sources: “Did you hear that Pharrell and Clipse on So Be It? They sampled the Saudi icon Talal Maddah’s ‘Maza Akoulou’. The world is curious. We just have to keep pushing quality and intention so when they look our way, they find the real thing.”
