Trap music is a subgenre of hip hop which emerged in the United States of America in the 1990s. Since rap and hip hop began to seep into Egypt's urban environment, it has stayed relatively underground and it stayed out of the spotlights. However, in the last few years, the trap scene began to gain popularity and it entered the spotlight, pushed by a handful of passionate artists like Abyusif, Wegz, Marwan Moussa, and Marwan Pablo. The Egyptian scene continues to bloom, widely influenced by the dark and gripping trap sound that is gaining a foothold in the wider Middle Eastern scene.
