‘BETTER THINK TWICE!’ warns the juggernaut of Egyptian rap scene to his haters, shaking up the scene with his newest release “El Harafeesh”! A track packed to the brim with a lyrical onslaught for those whose egos grow too big or suffer from delusions of grandeur.
Holding no punches back, BATISTUTA reminds his rivals who they’re dealing with. No different from Amir Karara’s “Ghofran” in “Nasl Al Agrab”, a big fish doesn’t entertain small Frys, “El Harafeesh” borrows the popular line ‘Kottaa Kossal Kossah’ that went heavy trending on social media.
Having laid the foundation for a strong base in the Egyptian rap scene since his humble beginnings in Alexandria back in 2006, he cultivated a large and loyal fan base with his powerful, combative and fearless lyrics and personality.
Inspiring the same drive and mentality in his listener’s minds, he’s steadily built up a following which surged through his hit “El Nos Gneh” back in 2018, which was followed up with “CosmoWanda” featuring rappers Wegz and El 5ive. Embracing his individuality, authenticity and personality, he sparks that spirit within his listeners.
His favorite artists being those that had to work their way to the top like Eminem, Pop Smoke and Jay-Z, it’s no surprise that his music tackles the challenges of “the streets, peoples everyday problems, personal issues and life”.
His goal of “helping people” coupled with his efforts to “support young rappers” in the Egyptian music scene because he feels that he “wants people to know and learn music”, with such a vision and drive, it potentially lines him up to being the next kingpin of the Egyptian rap scene.
Displaying his unique visual identity in several music videos grabbed the scene’s attention, with “El Saher” being his first clip to achieve one million views in a short time which given his position in rap, trap and hip hop scene is nothing to scoff at.
Continuing to build upon their string of successes, he continued to expand his library with over 20 tracks. Cultivating a steady million views per video on Youtube, with “El Saher” hitting 1.7 million views and “Ezzayak”,”Churchill”, “El Moled” and “El Tofan” hitting one million views each.
Having such a loyal and energetic fan base, he’s played in over 40 gigs and shown a rapid jump in terms of engagement over the past two years, proving that authenticity will always come on top. Putting forward a passionate energy that is distinguished with its solid beats and hard-hitting words, providing the words to bring forth the courage in his listener’s hearts to confront the challenges and obstacles they face.
His determined mindset inspires and encourages his listeners and his fierce attitude guarantees that it wont be easy toppling this king off the hill. Having nothing to prove to anyone, BATISTUTA lays it clearly out there for all to hear. Mess with him and you better have an umbrella because a storm is headed your way!
