NEW hiphop album The Man Who Lost His Heart by Egyptian-German rapper Marwan Moussa releases on May 5.
Set to discuss the artist’s loss of his mother, the project promises to tell his personal story in five parts, each representing a stage of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
In an interview, Marwan described the creative process as an album that ‘didn’t come overnight’.
“It was carved out by time, sorrow, and willpower. Every word and note reflects something real,” Marwan noted.
“It’s not just about grief, it’s about the strength to rise again and the hope of offering support to anyone who needs it, especially the younger generation. I want them to know that even the hardest moments in life don’t last forever,” he added.
Since he embarked on his career in 2017, Marwan has received several accolades including Best African rapper, Breakthrough Artist Of The Year and Best Artist In African Hiphop at the 2022 All Africa Music Awards. He was also Spotify’s third most streamed Arabic hiphop artist of all time across the Middle East and Africa (MENA) region in 2023.
In the same year, he co-wrote and featured in his single Rajieen (‘we will return’), alongside 25 other artists from different MENA countries to raise awareness on the Palestinian people’s suffering amid the events of October 7.
