MHD, born Mohamed Sylla on September 10, 1994, in Paris, France, is a rapper who has garnered substantial acclaim for pioneering the "Afro Trap" genre—a fusion of African music and trap beats. Emerging from the 19th arrondissement of Paris, MHD rose to prominence in 2015 with a series of viral music videos that showcased his unique sound, blending energetic trap influences with rhythms and vocals inspired by his West African heritage. His breakout track, "Afro Trap Part 3 (Champions League)," caught the attention of listeners worldwide and became an anthem, particularly due to its football-inspired chorus and danceable beat.
MHD's career soared with his self-titled debut album in 2016, which included hits like "Bella" and "Bodyguard," further solidifying his place in the music scene. He's known for his storytelling abilities and has used his platform to shed light on the experiences of African immigrants in France. His second album, "19," released in 2018, is a nod to his home district and features a matured sound that dives deeper into personal narratives and the complexities of fame. Despite facing legal issues that temporarily halted his career, MHD returned with a vengeance, releasing tracks like "Afro Trap Part. 11 (King Kong)" and "Mansa," which continue to showcase his commitment to innovation and his vibrant blend of rap and Afrobeat sounds. With recent collaborations, such as "MHD: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 44," MHD remains a dynamic force in international music, steadily expanding his influence and evolving his sound.
