NUBI

2023 · 4 min · Documentary, Music

Ziyad Walid -Nubi-, is a young male rapper from southern Egypt who lived his childhood in Saudi Arabia where he used to get bullied and be left out. When he went back to Egypt, he dealt with being different, and Rap was the only way to express his feelings and prove himself. Rap gave Nubi the opportunity to be heard by people of his age who believe in him and his type of art. He sings a new genre, a mix between Southern Egyptian culture and trap music, trying to keep pace with the rap scene in Egypt. NUBI has a dream of holding a concert in the city of -Aswan-, specifically in Nubia, by following the steps of his idol, Mounir, the famous Nubian singer in Egypt, who experienced the same journey of being a stranger by just having dark skin. NUBI believes that singing is a gift God gave him, and the mic is from heaven.
