Bennou16's Picks — My Top 10 Moroccan Rap Songs of 2025
This year’s Top 10 is going to look different from most lists. You won’t find it packed with mainstream picks, because my criteria isn’t fame, streams, or hype, it’s whether the track brings something new: writing-wise, sound-wise, performance-wise, or concept-wise. Here are my top 10 Moroccan rap songs of 2025:
10 - “Hiroshima” by LMLTM
L’MLTM is one of the rappers who surfaced over the past few years, and he’s known for an intense, high-energy style. Just raw delivery, zero filter, and that “rage-on-the-mic” attitude. That’s exactly what you get on “Hiroshima”, especially since he takes shots at multiple names (from female rapper Frizzy to rapper Kira7 of Fake Gang). It’s one of those tracks that feels simple but hard. The more you know the rap scene the more you enjoy it.
9 - “Fama 7aja” by Obito
One of the year’s biggest discoveries for me is Obito, and “Fama 7aja” is the track that made it clear. It comes from his debut EP Bebetoo, released on 2 May. The writing is sarcastic and sharp, the flows are confident, and the bars have that “unique touch” without sounding forced. And the big detail here is the production: Villain’s beats aren’t easy to rap on, very few rappers can truly ride them cleanly. Obito did, and that’s exactly why this track earns its spot.
8 - “La Blonde w La Brune” by L’Morphine
From L’Morphine’s mixtape MC3, released on 11 September. This is one of the tracks where he really “talks his talk.” It’s packed with punchlines, but what makes it special is that you can feel his weight as an artist: he mixes storytelling with social commentary, and, unlike what he’s usually known for, he deliberately uses a more accessible language. Normally, L’Morphine is the type with dense lines that take time to decode.
7 - “Rajol Lba3t” by Gello (Ft. Deimi)
Released last month, from Gello’s EP E = mc², released on 14 November. This is one of the best features of the year. Both of them gave it their best, but the writing and technique level goes even higher, especially Deimi’s. His entry is straight fire, and the rhyme schemes are clean. It’s the kind of feature where you feel both artists understood the mission.
6 - “Stuntman” by Damost (Ft. Shobee)
Released Jan 2025, later used as the lead track for Damost’s EP Tinnitus, released on 22 August. Staying with the features: this one has real chemistry, and you can hear it most in the back-and-forth section near the end (and it comes through in the music video too). Flows are tight, pockets are clean, and Shobee’s entry was straight fire. Easily one of the best features of the year.
5 - “Wad Al Makhazin” by 7ari & Ramoon:
From their collab album 101, released on 4 July, 7ari and Ramoon really delivered with this one. On this track, 7ari puts on a dope performance, the atmospheric delivery and the way he handles the switch, both beat-wise and flow-wise. Ramoon adds his touch through the production and overall sound. The writing is solid and the flows are smooth. I can have it on loop for days.
4 - “Kaporal” by Deimi
Released on 5 February. This year Deimi really “signed off” properly, every line feels like it cuts the paper. “Kaporal” is full of writing techniques, one such example is what he does at the end: he counts down from 9 to 1 in a subtle, smart way. The crazy part is that each number still makes sense inside the bar, yet if you’re paying attention, he’s literally building a countdown to the track ending. Add the wordplay and the layered technique (classic Deimi), and you get one of his best tracks, easily list-worthy.
3 - “7issan Asswad B Jna7ou” by Aymane Haqqi
Released on 21 May. Aymane Haqqi is the type of rapper who’s always testing new approaches, he’s not scared to try things people don’t expect, from visuals to writing choices. On this one he leans into jazz rap and makes it work with technical writing, clever ideas, and a fun energy, all in Moroccan Arabic. It’s creative and smart at the same time, easy Top 10.
2 - “Murray” by Fat Mizzo
Released on 24 January. Fat Mizzo is one of the most creative rappers, and the proof is this track: he uses storytelling in the background to talk about the story of Moroccan–British MMA figure Ibrahim “Lee” Murray, and he connects it back to his own persona. If it weren’t for the track in first place, “Murray” would have been the best track of 2025.
1 - “Yasuke” by Dizzy DROS:
Part of the 3-track EP Tall Poppy Syndrome, released on 2 May. This is a track you’ll see at #1 for a lot of people who rate lyricism, because DROS really went off. Every bar feels like it needs half an hour of explanation: new angles and multi-layered writing. I even broke down 5 bars from it in a full article before. That’s enough to keep it #1 this year, honestly, it is one of the best Moroccan rap tracks of the last 10 years. And for me, it’s already a classic.
