Rabat – Moroccan rapper and producer 777YM has released his latest track “Zidou,” featuring Moroccan Abidat Rma.
The song brings together different genres and generations, creating a smooth meeting point between sounds that might not usually share the same space.
A blend of sounds and generations
Moroccan rap, contemporary Amapiano, and Moroccan Chaabi shape the track, with each bringing its own energy to the mix.
The accompanying music video follows that same contrast. It opens on a darker note, with 777YM surrounded by black-and-gray visuals.
The mood reflects the tension of an artist who can see his destination but has not reached it yet, touching on frustration, pressure, ambition, and the doubts that come with being caught between where you are and where you want to be.
When Abidat Rma enters, the atmosphere shifts. Their more uplifting, high-energy sound brings a new rhythm to the track, turning the contrast between the two styles into something made to move to.
The video carries that idea further, moving between darker moments and scenes of celebration. It captures the contradictions of a journey where joyful moments can appear even when the road ahead is still uncertain.
A Collaboration Rooted in Moroccan Culture
Beyond the artistry, “Zidou” also carries a personal connection between the artists.
“Abidat Rma” performed at 777YM’s parents’ wedding years ago. Now, the group has returned, this time to be part of their son’s musical project.
The collaboration therefore feels like more than a meeting between different sounds. It brings together two generations of Moroccan music while creating a small reunion between the past and the present.
Alongside his work as a rapper, 777YM is also involved in producing much of his music, often drawing on Moroccan instruments, Arabic references, and elements of Moroccan popular culture.
That connection has appeared in his earlier work, including “Men Dar Ldar,” which samples the theme of the iconic Moroccan television series of the same name.
With “Zidou,” he once again brings Moroccan culture into his sound, this time placing it alongside contemporary rap and Amapiano while sharing the track with a group that has been part of Moroccan music for generations.
