Versatile, methodical and thoughtful to every element of his music-making process, Meno Zein’s story is an all too familiar one for many Egyptian youth. Though he was herded towards a career that run’s in his family, a career that he asserts is not his own, music has been a constant in his life. From his first contact with it through the likes of the Bee Gees and Bob Marley; to his introduction to hip-hop through rappers such as 50 Cent and Lil Wayne; to his own sense of the evolution of what rap can be, inspired by XXXTentacion – Meno Zein is true student of music, one who studies and ponders in the name of pushing himself out onto new frontiers.
