Album lore

خليني أقوم الصبح, a lone track from 200 Shams and Ma-Beyn, emerged in early 2023 on The Sound of Eastern Cairo. Rooted in Egyptian hip hop and Arabic pop currents, this single distills urban Cairo’s restless pulse into a brief but potent artifact. The production balances rhythmic insistence with melodic flourishes typical of the region’s contemporary scene, underscoring the artists’ rootedness in local vernacular while nodding toward broader hip hop traditions.Though modest in its footprint—garnering just over six thousand scrobbles on Last.fm—this piece signals the continuing vitality of Egypt’s underground rap circuits. The collaboration between 200 Shams and Ma-Beyn channels the grit and groove of the city’s streets, positioning خليني أقوم الصبح as a concise exemplar of mid-2020s Egyptian hip hop’s evolving canon.
