Born and raised in Casablanca, Salem Aya was destined to be a juxtaposition. A young Sappho with a lyrical prowess reminiscent of macabre themes in conveyed turn of the century hip-hop, reflects on her life’s anecdotes and escapades. Following “Qandisha” featuring fellow Moroccan rapper Lemhllwess, Aya releases “Casablanca” upon her return to the motherland. The rapper-guitarist finds herself tossed between multifaceted aspects of her identity and creativity alike—finding refuge in the respective beauties and discord of metal and hip-hop. Aya attempts to redefine the boundaries of what is hailed orthodox in Moroccan society. Her upcoming single “Casablanca” seeks to establish her most authentic self through the aggressive, energetic lyrics, and melancholic Coladeira sampling, while paying tribute to her Maghrebi heritage.
