Saudi Rapper Asayel Bishi Releases 1st Arabic Song

Saudi rapper Asayel Bishi has released her debut single, “Asliyah” on MDLBeast Records, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

“Asliyah” addresses naysayers and doubters with a playful smirk and the words are full of Hejazi slang and a wisdom beyond her years. The new song represents “a statement of intent” with a special flow intended to be closer to a spoken-word performance than a rap. “That was a conscious decision,” Bishi said.

“I’m actually telling a story. I’m not really rapping and I’m not singing. It’s like I’m talking to someone. This is stuff that really happened to me and stuff that I really want people to know. I’m basically telling how people have mocked my style. And the reasons why they don’t like my style. And at the end, I’m saying, like, ‘OK. I’m here. And I’m entering the scene,’” she added.

“Asliyah,” marks the first song Bishi wrote in Arabic and the accompanying video was shot on the streets of Jeddah.

“All the locations in the video are very famous (here). The director (Ahmed Lebleb) wanted to reflect the image that, here in Jeddah, you can do these (creative) things. It’s not just about the beach and swimming,” Bishi explained.

Bishi stated that she was writing in English but when she worked with MDLBeast she started to focus on Arabic language in order to communicate with her community.

“MDLBeast also told me about other artists, local artists, that I should be listening to, like Moayad and Dafencii,” she added.

“I want to do it to improve myself, but also to encourage other girls to go out and to sing, to perform, to write, to rap… to build this female music community,” Bishi said.
