Early Life and Education

Ahmed Magdy Abdelfatah, known as Shahyn, was born on October 23, 1991, in Alexandria, Egypt. Raised in a culturally rich environment, both his parents Mr and Mrs Abdelfatah were stage actors who met through their craft but later abandoned acting due to family expectations, pursuing conventional careers.

Shahyn’s passion for music emerged early, influenced by Alexandria’s vibrant street culture and global hip-hop. He began rapping as a teenager, drawn to the genre’s expressive potential. His parents initially prioritized academics, leading him to study Computer and Information Systems at the King Mariout Academy in Alexandria. However, his focus on music caused his grades to decline, a choice he embraced without regret.

After graduating, his parents supported his music career, attending his concerts and encouraging him to pursue his passion, inspired by their unfulfilled artistic dreams.

Career

Shahyn started rapping in 2008, recording independent tracks and performing with the Alexandrian rap group Y-Crew. He became a trailblazer in Egyptian hip-hop, a genre then in its infancy. His role as a rapper in the 2010 award-winning film Microphone, directed by Ahmad Abdalla, cemented his status, making him synonymous with Egyptian rap for years.

After a hiatus post-2014, Shahyn announced a comeback in 2019, shedding his El-Abkary persona for a fresher solo identity. His track Amalataha Ablak sparked a publicized beef with rapper Abyusif, though some speculated it was a promotional stunt due to their prior mutual support.

Shahyn’s discography includes hits like SIRI, Mesabek, Bestek Now, Gamed Heek, For2O3 Looz, and MVP, which blend trap, drill, and traditional Arabic elements. His music, often experimental, avoids mainstream trends, focusing on authenticity.

By 2020, he noted the genre’s mainstream surge, crediting social media platforms like Facebook and streaming services like Spotify and Anghami for amplifying Egyptian rap’s reach. Shahyn has headlined concerts in Egypt and performed internationally, with his music charting for 46 weeks, peaking at #22 on Egyptian charts.

He expressed interest in acting, particularly theater, aiming to explore drama roles by age 40, inspired by his parents’ legacy. His influence endures, mentoring younger rappers like Abyusif, who credits Shahyn for inspiring his career.

Personal Life

Shahyn, maintaining a private personal life. He is single, with no confirmed relationships, spouse, or children. His late father and mother, former stage actors, profoundly influenced his artistic drive, supporting his career after initial hesitation.

A skilled basketball player in his youth, Shahyn considered a sports career as an alternative to music, reflecting his aversion to a conventional desk job. The 2019 beef with Abyusif stirred debate but showcased mutual respect, with no lasting animosity.
