Mohammed ‘W7lf’ Zidan is a multifaceted rapper and songwriter, with a universal upbringing and stature. Born in the city of Sirte in Libya, he now resides in the beautiful city of Perth, Australia. With a multicultural approach to his craft from the beginning, W7lF wanted to channel the energy from his home country, as well as the different environments surrounding him growing up. The result is something hugely potent and also profound, blending styles of traditional hip-hop aligned with jazz, funk and neo-soul music, forming a sound that transcends beyond the norm.
With a plethora of material under his belt in a relatively short space of time, W7lf now returns with his latest single ‘Nana’s Song’. A deeply personal and meaningful song for him, as he writes about ‘the one who disappeared’. It’s a chilled and vibrant song, filled with acoustic guitar lines and light percussion. Produced by Statik Selektah, the song is catchy and lyrically prominent from the off. The modern day hip-hop troubadour certainly seems wise beyond his ears for his still very young age, and ‘Nana’s Song’ is a perfect showcase of his smooth and melodic rhymes, making you feel like you’re there with him on a sunset beach on the shores of Australia.
W7lf provides both the perfect soundtrack to a party or a therapeutic release to hold onto for years to come. There’s a deeper understanding and meaning to this eclectic mix of modern day hip-hip and W7lf is at the fore.
