About

Morad, born in Barcelona’s Sant Roc neighborhood, is a voice of the streets, a storyteller whose raw lyricism and unfiltered narratives have redefined Spanish urban music. With a style rooted in trap and drill, Morad’s music is a gritty reflection of his upbringing, blending haunting beats with candid tales of struggle, resilience, and survival. His sound is a melting pot of influences, from the hard-hitting rhythms of American trap to the emotive storytelling of Spanish flamenco, creating a unique sonic identity that resonates deeply with his audience. Morad’s rise to fame was meteoric, propelled by his viral hit "Pepe" in 2020, which showcased his ability to turn personal pain into universal anthems. Since then, he has become a symbol of authenticity in a genre often criticized for its commercialism. His lyrics, delivered in a mix of Spanish and Moroccan Darija, reflect his dual heritage and the complexities of growing up in a marginalized community. Culturally, Morad is a trailblazer, giving a voice to the voiceless and challenging societal norms through his music. His collaborations with artists like Beny Jr and Rels B have further cemented his place in the urban music scene. Recently, Morad has been working on new material, teasing fans with snippets of his evolving sound, which promises to push boundaries while staying true to his roots.
