The short:

Wegz is a genre-blending artist who masterfully mixes Egyptian street music with modern hip-hop beats.

The long:

Ahmed Ali, known professionally as Wegz, is a trailblazer in Egypt’s hip-hop scene. He fuses mahraganat—Egyptian street music that fuses electronic beats and folk rhythms—with rap and EDM. Wegz’s experimental sound relates to Egyptian youth due to his energetic performance and lyrical focus on personal ambition and cultural issues. Wegz’s artistry, socially conscious lyrics, and infectious energy have earned him a loyal fan base in Egypt and beyond.

To listen or not to listen:

If you are into fusion hip-hop that mixes beautiful vocals and folk elements with energetic beats, then definitely listen to Wegz!
