Best Moroccan Rapper, Track, Project and Music Video of the Month
This month’s top picks were democratically chosen through an interactive survey on our Instagram account @dimatopmagazine. Here are the winners of October 2025:
Rapper of the Month: Kira7
Kira7 is the rapper of the month for October. He kicked off the month by releasing the single “Why II” on October 1st, followed by a massive 25-track project on October 10th.
Kira7 has always been a unique artist; there is simply no one else like him in the Moroccan rap scene. His style is a sonic and visual first for the genre, which is likely why his IG bio reads, ‘En el mundo exista otras formas de pensar.’ (There are other ways of thinking in the world). That statement could not be more true.
Track of the Month: "Nitrogenz" by Vira & Abduh
“Nitrogenz” by Vira and Abduh is the best song of October. Released on October 25th as a bonus track for their collaborative EP ‘Double Helix’ (which dropped on September 25th), the track is a masterful blend of braggadocio and subtle political commentary.
The song is particularly notable for Vira’s verse, which is dense with wordplay and complex, multisyllabic rhyme schemes. Over an aggressive and catchy hook, the track oscillates between being an outright banger and a protest anthem. This dual nature is evident in lyrics like, “Lhoriya l masajin, llah yrham jil, mat makhno9 fl manajim” (“freedom to the imprisoned, may God have mercy on this generation, dying in mines”). The title itself, with its inclusion of “genz,” appears to be a direct nod to the Gen Z-led protests currently unfolding in Morocco.
Music Video of the Month: "Boom" by Bo9al
“Boom” by Bo9al is the best music video of October. Released on the 22nd, the video is a raw portrayal of drug addiction and dealing. It opens with a confessional footage of a man admitting he has treated his health like an enemy, followed by a poignant quote from Italian intellectual Ignazio Silone: “We are not going to beg others for our freedom. We must take freedom.”
True to Bo9al’s style, the video features his signature elements: an authentic depiction of his lifestyle, scenes with drugs and dogs, and a massive group of people representing his home, Area 44 in Casablanca. It also continues his tradition of political support of Palestine, this time featuring a sign that reads, “Gaza is not dead.”
Morap Track of the Month: "Bous Momo" by NFlow Ft. Ayo Adr
“Bouz Momo” is the best Morap track of October. Released on October 24th as part of NFlow’s 7-track EP ‘The Purge,’ the song features Ayo Adr, the winner of the second season of Jamshow competition.
What makes this track a quintessential Morap track isn’t just the use of local instruments like the taarija, but also its rich use of Moroccan linguistic references. The title itself, “Bouz Momo,” is a phrase every Moroccan knows. While it literally means “kiss the baby,” something we all learn as children, it’s often used sarcastically to mean “it’s time for bed,” alluding to those final moments before sleep.
Project of the Month: NFlow - The Purge (EP)
The Purge by NFlow is the best rap project of October. Released on the 24th, this 7-track EP is a compelling debut that showcases a diverse range of Moroccan talent. The lineup features six rappers from different generations and styles, including Casablanca natives Ayo Adr, Small Naar, Rio27, and X7kira; Meknes native Liber Man; and Moroccan-Egyptian rapper Chadane, who adds a unique dynamic as the project’s sole female voice.
The production is equally varied, weaving between Morap, drill, and dubstep beats. For a debut EP, the project demonstrates considerable ambition and polish, evident in everything from the cover art to the curated features, diverse production, and versatile flows.
Letter from the Editor
At DimaTOP Magazine, we believe in the power of music not just to entertain, but to reflect and ignite change. This month, as Morocco witnesses the powerful wave of Gen Z protests—citizens demanding fundamental rights like decent education and health care—the energy on the streets must be matched by the voices coming from our speakers.
Music, especially Hip-Hop, has always been the voice of the unheard, born from the very communities now standing up. It is imperative for artists, regardless of their style, genre, or generation, to speak up. Now is the time to voice opinions, to show unwavering presence, and to demonstrate that they are unequivocally part of this community and its struggle.
This responsibility extends equally to the Moroccan diaspora. While celebrating our folklore and heritage is essential for cultural identity, it is arguably more crucial right now to connect socially and politically. The power of a global Moroccan creative community speaking with a unified, purposeful voice against injustice is immense.
When the community marches for dignity, artists must amplify that demand. When artists remain silent on issues concerning the streets that raised them, they risk becoming disconnected and irrelevant. Our shared task is to use our platforms to champion the cause of our people. We must protect the integrity of the art form by showing that Hip-Hop’s spirit remains rooted in truth, social commentary, and solidarity. Long live the voice of the streets.
Sincerely,
DimaTOP Magazine extends its sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their invaluable contributions to this issue. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication have been instrumental in bringing this publication to life.
Stay tuned for more from DimaTOP Magazine, the voice of Moroccan hip-hop!
