Egyptian rapper Marwan Pablo links up with Lege-Cy and producer HatemBas on “Shoft Kalam,” a record built on a clean melodic base. The title means “I saw words,” and the opening lines explain it. The rapper spots a message in his partner’s eyelashes and reads it without a word spoken. That small image carries the whole mood, but the beat does the heavy lifting.
Marwan Pablo and Lege-Cy wrote and performed “Shoft Kalam” together, while HatemBas handled the production. Quality Clique released it, and The Orchard handled distribution. The track runs three minutes and 29 seconds, so the trio keep it tight and replayable.
Marwan Pablo is an Egyptian rapper from Alexandria, and his catalogue runs from “Free” and “Denamet” to “CTRL,” “7OB&KASHAT,” and “EN7RAF.” Lege-Cy brings a fresh voice and a close link to the Quality Clique circle. HatemBas gives both of them a smooth base to rap on.
The song leans romantic rather than hard-edged, and the pair trade melodic bars over that production. A drill edit by DJ Monde has surfaced online, and foreign reaction channels have covered it, which points to interest outside Egypt.
