Hip hop music on the radio in Egypt

Hip hop music has gained popularity in Egypt over the past few decades. In the early 2000s, a number of Egyptian rappers emerged, influenced by the American hip hop scene but adding their own unique cultural touch. One of the most popular Egyptian hip hop groups is Arabian Knightz, who are known for their socially and politically conscious lyrics.

Other notable Egyptian hip hop artists include Zap Tharwat, MC Amin, and Ramy Essam, who gained international attention for his involvement in the 2011 Egyptian revolution and his song "Irhal," which became an anthem for the protest movement.

There are a number of radio stations in Egypt that play hip hop music, including Nogoum FM, Nile FM, and Radio Hits 88.2. These stations feature a mix of local and international hip hop artists, catering to the growing popularity of the genre in Egypt. The rise of social media has also allowed independent artists to gain a following and showcase their music to a wider audience.
