DJ HABIBEATS, the Palestinian-American beatmaker known for igniting global dance floors, joins forces with Egyptian-American vocal powerhouse Felukah on their electrifying new single “Hayati”, out now via EMPIRE. Accompanied by a vibrant visual shot in Los Angeles, the track drops just in time to fuel the next wave of international club heat.
A masterclass in cross-cultural collaboration, “Hayati” fuses Baltimore club and ghettotech with Arabic vocals and hypnotic trap elements. With its sharp snares, kinetic rhythms, and shimmering synths, HABIBEATS sets a high-energy tone that’s instantly elevated by Felukah’s signature delivery—an intoxicating mix of slick rap bars and silky Arabic melodies.
As the track builds, it melts into a dreamlike trap sequence, revealing a softer yet no less compelling side to their sound. The song’s name, “Hayati”—meaning “my life” in Arabic—captures the spirit of a personal yet universally resonant celebration of culture, movement, and self-expression.
The official music video, also out today, brings the duo’s chemistry to life in a converted LA car garage turned DIY dance party. Friends vibe together under neon lights, with Felukah delivering bars from a treadmill in a cheeky nod to OK Go’s viral visuals. The setting amplifies HABIBEATS’s reputation as a party architect, known for turning unconventional spaces into full-on rave zones.
Already a viral presence online, DJ HABIBEATS has cultivated a 1.5M+ fanbase through his high-octane mashups and culture-forward music breakdowns. His genre-fusing sets—blending Amapiano, Baile Funk, Jersey Club, and rich Middle Eastern and African textures—have caught the attention of GQ, Complex, Def Jam, and global audiences. With his Habibi’s House tour in full swing across North America following its sold-out European run, HABIBEATS continues to define the next wave of borderless club culture.
Felukah, meanwhile, continues to rise as one of the most magnetic voices in the Arab diaspora. With a sound that straddles Cairo and New York, her poetic lyricism and genre-spanning approach have landed her praise from Rolling Stone, The FADER, and Vogue Arabia. She made her Boiler Room debut last year and recently graced the airwaves at The Lot Radio, further solidifying her role in the global alt-R&B and hip-hop movement.
“Hayati” is more than a single—it’s a statement of joy, unity, and the power of cultural fusion on the dance floor. Catch the video now and stream the track everywhere via EMPIRE.
