“But we can consider ourselves lucky. Who would have imagined one day, seeing the van of an online platform bearing the face of a rapper touring around Casablanca, who would have imagined one day a Moroccan rapper appearing in Paris?”, says Taha Fahssi.
For the artist, like many other artists, Social Media has been a useful tool in promoting their art form. Social Media has made it possible for Rap artist and many other genres of artists to catch the attention of many others outside North Africa, and Africa at large.
