Marwan Pablo: The Godfather of Trap in Egypt (2019)

Marwan Pablo, 23, is a trap artist and one of the most important voices of the new generation in Egypt’s hip-hop scene. His first rap concert in Alexandria began on a bright morning, with a decent crowd in attendance. But just before he took the stage, it suddenly started to rain. The stage equipment wasn’t prepared for the weather, forcing the show to stop. Frustrated, Marwan stepped away, thinking of a way to continue the concert. The film follows Marwan between Alexandria and Cairo, capturing the birth of the new wave of hip-hop in Egypt.
