RAQI

**RAQI** is a German rapper and songwriter known for blending gritty street narratives with multicultural influences rooted in his Egyptian heritage. Emerging from Berlin’s vibrant hip-hop scene, he’s carved a niche with tracks like *Tamally Maak* (which samples the iconic Arabic pop ballad) and *Duft der Straße*, where he mixes German lyricism with Middle Eastern melodic flair. His work often explores themes of identity, street life, and diasporic pride, delivered in his signature laid-back yet razor-sharp flow. Recent releases like *Toyota* and *SHAKE IT* showcase his knack for catchy hooks and genre-blurring production, cementing his reputation as a bridge between Arabic pop sensibilities and German rap’s raw energy. While he keeps his personal life low-key, his music speaks volumes about his roots and the streets that shaped him.
