Mohamed Al-Hadi Al-Mazouri (born December 10, 1981, Tangier), also known by the stage name Muslim, is a Moroccan rapper.[1] He is considered to be one of the most popular and prolific Moroccan rappers of his generation[2] and has also been described as one of the most influential Arab rappers.[3]
Career
In 1998, Muslim formed the rap group Zanka Flow alongside rapper Larbi. The group disbanded in 2006.[4]
In 2010, Muslim released his first album entitled Rebellion, which sought to explore the artistic community, especially in the Maghreb rap genre.[5]
In 2014, Muslim performed at Mawazine Festival.[6]
in 2018, during a Moroccan boycott of products such as mineral water, a type of milk, and a fuel distribution company, Muslim declared that he was “too old to boycott milk and water, and that he is a man of difficult tasks,” which drew criticism from his followers, who considered this to contradict the content of his songs and to be condescending to his fans and critics.[7]
Muslim's music has seen significant success outside of Morocco.[2] He has held multiple performances throughout Spain,[8] including a show at the Razzmatazz in Barcelona.[4][9]
Style
Muslim's rap style is defined by its lyricism and old school flow, falling under the category of socially conscious or social rap.[10] His verses convey positive messages while addressing and condemning prevalent issues in Moroccan society, such as government mismanagement, education, corruption, and youth unemployment.[4][10] Through his lyrics, he advocates against drug use. Muslim refrains from using profanity in his music.[10]
Personal life
Muslim is originally from Tangier.[11] He has two sons from his first wife.[12]
