Based between Cairo and New York City, Felukah incorporates the essence of both cities in her sound bending hip hop, RnB, dance music and Egyptian classics to her liking.

We got a truly wonderful piece of music to open this week's newcomer playlist which also features contributions from Moon Panda, Freya Beer, Church Girls, Eugénie and other promising talents you should know about.
