3ab9or's Picks — My Top 10 Moroccan Rap Songs of 2025
I ranked these Moroccan rap songs on three core pillars: creativity in lyrics, originality in flow and melodies, and contribution to the culture. Some tracks break rules; others invent new ones. Not every song checks every box, but each excels where it matters most. These records pushed boundaries, introduced fresh concepts, and moved Moroccan rap forward. This list reflects evolution from my pov, not general consensus.
10 - “Kaporal" by Deimi
To me, Deimi is one of Moroccan rap’s top lyricists and hugely underrated. I can’t wait to see him get the flowers he deserves. In “Kaporal” (and in all his tracks), he always brings a unique style of writing full of homonyms, punchlines, and double/triple entendres. His writing skills are solid and this track is easily Top 10 worthy.
9 - “Fama Haja” by Obito333
Obito Triple3 could be the new talent of the year. “Fama Haja,” like many other rap tracks, shows that writing can be street-loaded and dope at the same time. This mixture is what sets Obito apart. He brings that Rabat-Salé slang and energy while weaving clever bars that needs attention and deciphering. A primary inspiration for his style clearly comes from the late Nab Fake (may he rest in peace).
8 - “Me” by Damost
“Me” is a personal track from Damost’s debut EP, Tinnitus. As a rapper who has been working on his craft for years, Damost impresses with his great cadence and wordplay as well as dope writing and beat selection. In “Me”, over a stellar production by Lbandy, he talks about how Damost relied on himself to achieve many things and to get where he at now, something that can inspire a lot of people to keep going. His confident performance makes the track a Top 10 for me.
7 - “101” by 7ari & Ramoon
The intro to 7ari’s new project 101 has a great sample, and writing that expresses 7ari’s personality pretty well. “101” is a great start to the album with dope flows and delivery. I really liked the album and this track is my favorite, from the vocal chops to the vulnerability and meaning behind the lines. Ramoon did big work on the production throughout the whole album.
6 - “Nabra” by Mons
A track within a project that dropped unexpectedly and that people liked. “Nabra” has new elements like an amapiano touch and log drums. Mons worked a lot on his voice and played with three vocal modes & notes, something he challenged himself with and rarely heard. The writing is nice even though it’s melodic, showing that lyrics and melody can go hand in hand. I’m a huge fan of artists who challenge both themselves and the status quo by exploring new, rarely charted sonic territory.
5 - “VFC” by Fat Mizzo
Fat Mizzo, even if he disappears, he always comes back with tracks that have something new. In this track “VFC”, Mizzo dropped strong references, clever wordplays, and great flows. I wasn’t disappointed. The beat by BabyBoi, layered with Mizzo’s vocals and bars, completely sold me. This is a top 10-worthy track. Mizzo really doesn’t miss!
4 - “A9rass” by Draganov
Draganov talked here about his experience with depression and dependence on “A9rass” (pills). A track where he stepped outside Draga’s usual formula and style (the dance-infused raï tracks he’s been dropping for the last few years). It’s deep and vulnerable, I love when artists, especially male rappers, when they talk about their vulnerabilities. The creative and high-quality music video completes the track’s vision.
3 - “Tfo 3awtani” by Al Nasser
The intro track from Al Nasser’s new EP L’Barzakh, the one he used for his comeback. It’s from Nasser’s POV: his psychological state and his view of life, specifically in Casablanca. How his mind tries to stay alive despite the hard experiences he goes through. The most important thing is that he doesn’t stay alone with his thoughts, because that seems more dangerous to him than drugs – poison and hatred toward people.
2 - “La Blonde w La Brunne” by L'Morphine
A track with political weight, where L’Morphine criticizes the country’s policies. He also took some risks by challenging social and political behaviors of many Moroccans, criticizing social hypocrisy and double standards, something that isn’t that new for L’Morphine.
1 - “Yasuke” by Dizzy DROS:
Dros has improved a lot in his writing: multisyllabic rhymes, wordplays, and double entendres. It also teases an album that could have the same high level of writing that raised the bar for other rappers. Check 3aba9ira’s post that goes deeper into the techniques Dros used on the Tall Poppy Syndrome EP, especially on “Yasuke.”
