Artist Detailed Info: Azed

Azed is a Morrocan rap artist and producer born in the city of Casablanca in 1977. At the age of 15, he migrated to France with his family. Two years later, he started writing lyrics. Azed was living in Montrogue (92), a suburb in Paris. This is why music was for him an escape from the ghetto life more than a hobby.

In 2001, he released his first album ‘Double Peine’. It was the best selling album on the month of April 2001 in the FNAC mega stores in Paris. Azed used his music to relate his experiences and bring them into the music world.

In 2002, he came back to Casablanca for unknown reasons but his return did not interrupt his career because he participated in Mass concerts such as ‘the Boulevard of Music for Youth’.

He founded the first recording home studio in Morocco to help launch the Rap cause. In 2005, he signed a record deal with Choc Records and featuring with the Soprano of the Psy4 of Rhyme.

In 2006, he recorded a clip with the Rapper Balky. It was a record-breaking title since it was watched on Youtube and Dailymotion for more than one million times.

In 2008, he founded the Label ‘Medina Street’ during a period marked as an artistic recession period. His mixed tape ‘Morocco Newyorkaise’, which was released in January 2009, was on first page on New York hip -hop magazines such as ‘Clef the Voice’, ‘Neesha’, ‘Twin P’, and ‘Loumidi’ as well as in Moroccan magazines ‘Casa System’, ‘Brada’, ‘Jalal”. He is the first rapper to appear on the Channel 2M since 1998.

Azed is an artist who sings about the failed political system, and the social and civil rights issues.
