Hossam L Hossainy talks about his attempt to make rap a proper genre in Arabic. He started to rap in English, and he has never thought he wold be rapping in Arabic. Of course, the pioneers of Arab tend to be Palestinians and few Moroccans. Egyptians were late to the game as far as we can tell.
I came across this rapper when he collaborated with Egyptian pop star Tamer Hosny, it was an interesting collaboration that was received well in the Middle East, but to be honest I was't impressed by it. "Come Back to Me" gave Hoss an opportunity to rap in English and introduce him to Tamer's ever growing fan base. Another singer got his break on that track is Karim Mohsen, a guy we also like.
Oer his Facebook page here is how HOSS sees himself

I think the rapper got his first break by appearing with Hisham Abbas music video Ya Habibi, which was a big success and got the name out there. Another thing, the first thing Arab rappers get right is the swagger as they dress the part, few can make good raps.
So here is the video that will introduce you to the career of this energizing rapper and all the behind the scenes you need to know.
