Early Life & Education

Morad El Khattouti El Horami was born on March 5, 1999, in the La Florida neighborhood of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a working-class suburb of Barcelona, Spain.

His ethnicity is Moroccan, with his mother hailing from Larache and his father from Nador, though his father left the family when Morad was young, leaving his mother to raise him.

As a Muslim, his faith profoundly shapes his identity, often reflected in the themes of resilience in his music.

Growing up in a multicultural area known for social challenges, Morad spent part of his childhood in a children’s home, facing racism and classism that fueled his lyrics.

His love for music began early, as he started rapping with friends on WhatsApp at the age of 14, inspired by French drill and Moroccan sounds.

La Florida’s streets gave him the nickname “M.D.L.R” (Mec de la Rue, French for “street boy”), a term he popularized in Spain, proudly blending his Spanish and Moroccan roots.

Morad showed little interest in formal education, as he mentioned in interviews. Growing up in La Florida, he faced challenges that pulled him away from school, including legal issues in his teens.

Instead of traditional studies, he learned through music, teaching himself to rap and produce by sharing tracks with friends.

His real education came from the streets of L’Hospitalet, where he honed his storytelling skills and cultivated his cultural pride.

Career

Morad’s music career began in 2018 with his debut single, “No Son De Calle,” a gritty track about street life that caught the attention of online audiences.

In 2019, he released his debut album, M.D.L.R., which became a hit with songs like “Motorola” and “Yo No Voy,” blending drill, trap, and hip-hop elements. The album’s raw take on social exclusion resonated with Spain’s youth, especially immigrants.

In 2020, he released the EP M.D.L.R 2.0, followed by “Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 47” with Argentine producer Bizarrap in 2021, which topped PROMUSICAE charts for two weeks. His 2022 single “Pelele” also hit number one, and his EP Capítulo 1 with Beny Jr. solidified his drill dominance.

In 2023, Morad released his second album, Reinsertado, his most successful project to date, cementing him as Spain’s top emerging drill artist, according to Spotify statistics.

He’s collaborated with artists like Jul, Capo Plaza, and Kamikaz, expanding his reach to France and Latin America. In 2022, he partnered with Adidas to design soccer jerseys under the Adidas x MDLR initiative, sponsoring La Florida CF’s sportswear.

Posts on X from 2025 describe him as Europe’s top Spanish rapper, citing his Rome performance with a Palestinian flag as evidence of his global influence. Morad’s music, rooted in Spain’s multicultural suburbs, carries his Moroccan-Spanish pride worldwide.

Personal Life

Morad, 26, stands at 180 cm and is often seen in tracksuits, a style he celebrates in his 2022 song “Chándal.” He’s single, with two children, though their names aren’t public.

His past relationship with Cristina ended in 2021, leading to a dramatic incident where she stabbed his new girlfriend, receiving a nine-month sentence in 2023.

A 2025 sex tape leak involving them went uncommented on by Morad. He’s faced legal issues, including arrests for driving without a license (2022), disrespecting police (2022), and alleged arson incitement (2022), plus a six-month prison stint in 2024 for traffic violations.

Despite controversies, Morad remains tied to La Florida, mentoring young locals and supporting causes such as Palestine, as evident in his 2025 Rome show. His Moroccan-Spanish identity and love for Spain’s urban culture make him an influential figure.

Net Worth

Morad’s estimated net worth is $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.

His income comes from music streams (2.4 billion YouTube views), album sales, live performances, and his Adidas x MDLR deal.

Legal troubles, including a 2024 prison sentence, may have impacted earnings, but his streaming success and brand collabs keep his wealth strong, reflecting Spain’s urban music boom.
