Mehditations' Picks — My Top 10 Moroccan Rap Songs of 2025
This year offered a wide range of Moroccan rap releases, from bold experimentation to refined lyricism. Rather than focusing on numbers or hype, this list highlights songs that stood out for their writing, creativity, execution, and cultural weight. Each track below represents a specific moment, approach, or artistic statement that shaped my listening throughout the year.
10 - “Red" by Yo Asel (Ft. Gello, Vira & Nada)
Yo Asel did his thing on this track. This was my introduction to Gello, and it left a strong impression. His approach to rhyming and flowing feels unique and unpredictable, with an almost indifferent delivery that makes it stand out. There’s great chemistry with Vira, who is well known for his rhyming ability, and the hook is extremely catchy. Nada’s vocals add the perfect finishing touch.
9 - “Carnage” by Obito333
One of my best discoveries this year. Obito.triple3 is a very creative spitter with a bold approach. I loved how unpredictable this track is from name-dropping other rappers and flipping their references to showcasing sharp wordplay and a unique lyrical edge. He clearly has his own lane.
8 - “Stuntman” by Damost (Ft. Shobee)
A straight-up banger. Two highly technical rappers attacking a hard beat with strong deliveries. The chemistry between Damost and Shobee really shines, especially in the way they go back and forth, feeding off each other’s energy.
7 - “7issan Asswad B Jna7ou” by Aymane Haqqi
This track feels like a statement piece from Aymane Haqqi. He confidently showcases his lyrical ability while embracing experimentation. The song stands out lyrically, sonically, and visually, serving as a strong example of how to blend another musical genre with hip-hop without compromising lyrical depth.
6 - “Mraya” by Small X & Saib
One of my favorite tracks from Nafida. Small X took a real creative risk with this project, introducing a fresh vibe to Moroccan rap while staying true to the hip-hop spirit. Mraya is an introspective track built on lo-fi textures and jazz-influenced melodies, encouraging reflection and self-assessment. This kind of experimentation should inspire upcoming rappers to take risks while respecting hip-hop fundamentals.
5 - “Fundo” by Clemando & L’Morphine
This was a collaboration I didn’t expect, but it turned out to be a solid banger. Clemando delivers a good verse, but L’Morphine clearly has the edge here arguably one of his best verses this year. With a strong opening, L’Morphine leans heavily into imagery, delivered calmly and confidently, giving the track a unique balance of intensity and restraint.
4 - “Aboubakar” by Naafri8 & Yorpen
By far one of the most underrated songs of the year. This collaboration brings together two highly creative lyricists delivering standout verses. Naafri8 uses a laid-back, nonchalant flow while landing punchlines through strong imagery, and Yorpen goes hard, showcasing his rhyming ability with precision. I’ve had this track on repeat since it dropped.
3 - “Kaporal” by Deimi
Deimi reached a new level with Kaporal. You can clearly hear his evolution from being a strong spitter to crafting a fully cohesive rap song without sacrificing his writing abilities. The track is engaging from start to finish, featuring double entendres, alliteration, and a clever countdown scheme toward the end, which makes it especially memorable.
2 - “VFC” by Fat Mizzo
Fat Mizzo got extremely creative with this track, building most of his bars around a football scheme delivered with sharp sarcasm. With the right visualizer or music video, this could easily become a major banger. Smooth rhyming, effective punchlines, and well-thought-out ad-libs make VFC one of my favorite songs of the year.
1 - “Yasuke” by Dizzy DROS:
Making this list was difficult, but choosing this song was easy. I simply wasn’t ready for this level of lyricism from Dizzy Dros. While he has always been known for his exceptional flow, he was rarely placed among the top lyricists in Moroccan rap. Yasuke changes that conversation entirely. In one track, he switches flows effortlessly, uses double and triple entendres, semantic chaining, and advanced writing techniques that are still underused in the scene. Beyond the technical mastery, he also tackles political and cultural themes with depth. This song feels like a turning point in his artistic evolution.
