Billboard Arabia August Cover Story

This interview with Vega took place before the album and what was expected to be a flat speech about music – cooperation, rival in Egyptian rap scenes, making records and his shifts between genres – quickly turned into something else.

VEGZ approaches every question from another angle, as if its focus was already on what follows and the self-development that was taken to reach this point. The conversation went far beyond music: His buggy experience in diving into the sea, flourishes from Japan Cherry, spending personal growth, necessity of peaceful and simple adventures. From rap, pop and mahragant to thinking about curiosity and boredom, it reveals how these pieces fold into his sound.

Speaking over tea, VEGZ has divided the cities that love and music that allows it to exist without restrictions. And the witness of Egypt changes the scene and musicians looking for the meaning in real time, shows that personal shifts – glory, solitude, simplicity – bleeding them into his songs, pretending to them in his songs and souls. This was not typical and typical. It was a rare space in which Vegz spoke honestly, offering perspective as unguarded as unexpected.

VEGZ and Sonic Adventure: travel from Alexandria via genres

In August 2017, Vegz announced on Facebook: “My name is Vegz. I’m just four months, and I’ll drop the trail that will blow up in two days.” It was a bold prediction that marked the beginning of the extraordinary trip – from Alexandri’s roofs to the light of Cairo and far above. Eight years later, he sits for this August 2025. Years Billboard Arabia August covers the story as one of the most influential art artists in the region, a constant presence in Arabia Arabia charts with a catalog that reflects its evolution and its unpredictability. By 2018. Egypt is a hip-hop scene began to break out, in the establishment of new votes from Alexandria, Ismailia and other cities. The listeners are eager to see how Gen Z will bend technology and culture into something new. VEGZ appeared in the heart of that wave, experimenting with rap, trap and mahraganate while cutting the express identity.

Vegz was one of them, testing the space between rap, trap and mahraganat and began to take his identity out. Looking at it over the years is like tracking the character in a constant change: a young, an emotional boy who poured his heart into “Salenia” on Alexandrient roofs; The fragility was discovered in “Dairi Al Maslah” with Marvan Pablo; Playful savvy “Bases”. Through all these phases, simplicity never disappeared, even while his star continued to grow.

With “Kharban”, in addition to the Mahraganat Pionira Sadata and Amr Haha, as a new territory, as “Dorak Gai” was produced by Molotov, cemented his place in Shaabi Castle – her slang and phrases shed up daily culture. Then came the “Doresca Gai” with a producer, Molotov, who cemented his presence in the Shaabi trap and broader phrases and phrases that abolished itself in the whole culture. The trail was mixed by Shaabi culture with poetic tongue, reflecting a clear range of genres.

This constant movement between styles can partially reflect his ADHD, which was honestly in our conversation. Vegz does not hide it – he admitted and found ways to fight. “It’s All Self-Growth. Art Is Part Of Life, Inseparable From It. Life Is Beautiful. And Try To Live It, Enjoy What I Have, Look Ahead, and Focus On What’s In My Hands. And Have ADHD. Everyone In Egypt Has Adhd-We All Know The Mischievous But Smart Kid. That’s all of us. “

Maybe it was an ADHD, who now succeeds by throwing up into one task until it is done before moving into something completely different. Or maybe there was a childhood through school transfer and again, always a “new child”, while once revoked. Anyway, these experiences shaped as approaching music: once the masters sound, it moves, never long long time in one place.

‘El bakht’: a milestone that captured the feeling and connected millions

During the interview, Vegz responded with careful diplomacy. When he asked what he grew up listening, he mentioned only Justin Bieber from his teenage years and the Hip-Hop Duo Mobb deep. As for Arabic influences, he simply puts it “” walk the streets all the time, there is music. It’s Egypt. Every time you go out to buy something, someone plays the path, so you are constantly hearing the path, so you constantly listen to all fresh. “

Such is an Egypt sound record later on the surface “El Bakht”, published in 2022. years, a song that was everywhere in Egypt, with concerts and large clubs to Tuk-Tuksa and buses. Its echo that spreads in the region, quickly became a love song in the region for the generation. He was wearing a bedding rhythm that pushed Vegz to a new territory, it was texts that took her success, primarily, the more of their simplicity, which he considered it belonged to them.
