Growing up in Alexandria’s vibrant coastal city, Afroto was immersed in its street culture and musical diversity.

Career

This debut resonated with Egypt’s rap community, earning support from peers like Marwan Pablo and Marwan Moussa. In 2018, he collaborated with Mahraganat artist Sadat El3almy on Al Harb Ebtadet (The War Has Begun), which led him to quit his waiter job and focus on music full-time.

His 2019 track Kebda and 2020’s Segara (over 8.5 million YouTube views) marked his rise, blending trap with Egyptian and Brazilian influences. In 2021, Msh Bel 7ozoz surpassed 11 million YouTube views, and his EP San Stefano (2022) reflected his Alexandria roots, earning critical acclaim.

Afroto performed at Dubai’s Beat The Heat festival in July 2022, headlining with thousands in attendance, but faced a performance ban in Egypt after violating the Musicians’ Syndicate guidelines, incurring an EGP 100,000 fine alongside Marwan Pablo. His 2023 collaboration with Shreya Ghoshal, Sunn Beliya, for Coke Studio 2023, showcased his global appeal, merging Egyptian rap with Indian vocals.

Other hits include Brazil, Far2 Khebra, 7ala (2023, afrobeat-inspired), and Tege Goal. His YouTube channel has nearly 150 million views, and he has over 100 million streams, performing alongside artists like WizKid and Afrojack.
