Mohammed ‘W7lf’ Zidan is a multifaceted rapper and songwriter, with a universal upbringing and stature. Born in the city of Sirte in Libya, he now resides in the beautiful city of Perth, Australia. With a multicultural approach to his craft from the beginning, W7lf wanted to channel the energy from his home country, as well as the different environments surrounding him growing up.
The result is something hugely potent and also profound, blending styles of traditional hip-hop aligned with jazz, funk and neo-soul music, forming a sound that transcends beyond the norm.
Following previous press successes on NOTION Magazine, Earmilk and more, W7lf now looks inwards and returns with a collaboration on new single ‘Won’t Wait (For You)’ featuring Perth-born, Egyptian-Sudanese singer-songwriter Veronikka.
W7lf always possesses a relentless presence in his flow and it is complemented hugely by Veronikka’s dreamy and floaty vocals that sit so beautifully in the background of the song. The track is introduced with some blissful piano lines before the chilled and synonymous production enters, fixating the listener instantaneously.
A chilled and melancholically flowing hip-hop track, ‘Won’t Wait (For You)’ that can lend itself to pop, rap and everything in between, W7lf’s music is up for interpretation and just to be enjoyed, and with the help of Veronikka, the pair together have created something truly resonating and genre defining.
W7lf brings his ever present and potent rhymes and lyricism to make this a classy delivery alongside Veronikka’s sumptuous melodies in ‘Won’t Wait (For You)’, and it is a powerful offering that will speak to the masses once again.
He says “Won’t Wait is a love song. It conveys the importance of love for self, but not at the expense of hate towards your significant other (Ex or otherwise). It’s cocky; It’s happy; It’s empowering. Yet, the chill, raw & bouncy sound that I’m known for is still there. I want everyone (He, She & They) who listens to this song to know that they ain’t got to wait for them. Whether they left or you did, waiting for them is hell. There’s no honour, strength or love in it.”
‘Won’t Wait For You’ is out now.
