Casablanca – Moroccan rapper Draganov’s “Manzakine,” featuring Moroccan “Ayta” star Hajib, continues to gain momentum, reaching Billboard Arabia’s “50 Hip Hop” and “Hot 100” charts.
The song currently ranks No. 3 on “50 Hip Hop,” while making its first appearance on the “Hot 100” at No. 70.
Released on July 31, “Manzakine” quickly caught listeners’ attention with its unexpected meeting of two distinct Moroccan sounds.
The track brings together Draganov’s rap style with Hajib’s signature “Ayta,” placing a traditional Moroccan sound alongside contemporary hip hop.
The result gives both musical worlds space to stand out while creating something that feels distinctly Moroccan.
The collaboration places Hajib’s longstanding Ayta sound in a contemporary setting, allowing two generations and two distinct sides of Moroccan music to meet on the same track.
Since its release, “Manzakine” has continued to build its audience, surpassing 2.5 million views on YouTube.
The song has also made its way onto Spotify’s Hot Hits Morocco, where it currently ranks No. 5.
Its chart presence comes alongside a strong response from listeners, who have been drawn to the contrast between Hajib’s traditional vocal style and Draganov’s modern approach.
The collaboration is also part of a wider movement in Moroccan music, where established traditional sounds are increasingly meeting newer genres and finding their way into contemporary releases.
For Draganov, “Manzakine” adds another standout collaboration to his growing catalog, while for Hajib, the track offers a fresh setting for one of Morocco’s recognizable Ayta voices.
With millions of views and appearances on both Moroccan and regional charts, “Manzakine” is showing that traditional Moroccan sounds can find new energy when placed alongside the country’s evolving hip hop scene.
