At the start of his career, Moubarak openly drew inspiration from his mentor Jul, delivering “Jul-style tracks” filled with feel-good vibes and infectious energy. This sound, made popular through Clique, the show hosted by Mouloud Achour, quickly spread beyond France, reaching audiences in Sweden and across Europe’s urban music scene.
Over time, Moubarak broke away from his early influences and carved out a unique artistic identity. He ventured into new sonic territories, embraced experimentation, and even released a bold film-album titled Cicatrices.
His latest project, “Solide”, released in 2025, reveals a more introspective side of the artist. He opens up about his doubts—both about life as an artist and life on the streets. In the same spirit, he recently dropped the single “Terter”: a stripped-down, minimalist track where he embraces an old-school flow and returns to a raw, unfiltered form of pure rap.
Moubarak steps out of the “Terter”!
The beat is crafted by 71beat, a seasoned producer known for his work with Jul on tracks like “Superstar” and “Mental d’or et de platine”. He’s also contributed to major collective projects like “13 Organisé” and “Le Classico Organisé”. The production here is intentionally minimal, giving full space to the lyrics and delivery. Moubarak comes in sharp and unapologetic, spitting with a rare intensity that stands out in his discography.
The single is paired with an intriguing visual, likely created using artificial intelligence. Viewers are invited to dive into the artist’s inner world—a surreal mix of realism and dreamlike imagery. It raises a question: is Moubarak finally opening up his heart?
