Abyusif, Mo’nd, Hady Moamer and Showkey circle the same subject across the soundtrack: money as currency, power and survival.
A stacked lineup of Egypt’s hip-hop voices, featuring Abyusif, Mo’nd, Hady Moamer, and Showkey, comes together on the EgyBest soundtrack, crafting an EP that feels just as cinematic as the film itself.
Each artist brings their own distinct fingerprint to the project, but the EP is anchored in social commentary, with every track channeling a different emotion through heavy, layered production. There’s a constant orbit around money as currency, power, and survival. The sound design mirrors that obsession, with dense textures, looping motifs, and beats that feel like they’re stacking in real time.
The EP kicks off with a hazy, introspective opener from Mond, ‘Leeh?’, leaning into disillusionment as it moves between detachment and confrontation, slowly awakening to a harsher version of reality. Abyusif follows with an unexpected flow on ‘Shoghle’, riding a heavily produced, almost chaotic, polyrhythmic beat layered with hard-hitting bass and constantly shifting textures.
Showkey steps in with a catchy flow over an electro-shaabi fusion produced by DJ Totti on ‘Le3bt’, marking a celebratory moment that fits in the film’s most uplifting scene. The closing credits feature a collaboration between Tarek El Sheikh and Hady Moamer on ‘2X1’, a track rooted in street elements and gritty, textured production.
