Palestinian-American DJ HABIBEATS has joined forces with Egyptian-American R&B artist Felukah for their new single ‘Hayati’, released Friday, April 11 via EMPIRE, along with a forthcoming official video shot in Los Angeles.
Effortlessly blending Baltimore club and ghettotech with lush Middle Eastern textures, ‘Hayati’ captures the shared global spirit and sonic adventurousness of both artists. DJ HABIBEATS lays the foundation with a hyperactive beat featuring techy clicks, crisp snares, and floating synths, while Felukah glides across the production with her hypnotic Arabic verses and silky, rap-sung vocals. As the track develops, it slips seamlessly into a dreamy, slow-burning trap outro—offering a moment of reflection amid the chaos.
Known for his party-starting sets and boundary-smashing production, DJ HABIBEATS has become one of dance music’s most exciting global disruptors. Infusing Amapiano, Baile Funk, and Jersey Club with Middle Eastern, African, and Latin rhythms, his sonic palette is as expansive as his fan base—over 1.5 million strong across TikTok and Instagram. Having supported names like Asake, Central Cee, and Majid Jordan, and featured in GQ, Complex, and Def Jam, he recently launched his ‘Habibi’s House’ North American tour, following a successful European run that included a stop at The Cause in London.
Meanwhile, Felukah continues to carve her own lane as a genre-fluid voice in Arabic and global R&B. Her distinctive fusion of hip-hop, neo-soul, and Arabic lyricism has made waves from Cairo to New York, with features in Rolling Stone, The FADER, and Vogue Arabia. Her recent sets on Boiler Room and The Lot Radio have further cemented her status as a vital voice in the alt-Arabic music space.
With ‘Hayati,’ DJ HABIBEATS and Felukah deliver a borderless, club-ready anthem that bridges continents, cultures, and styles—all while keeping the energy electric. Stay tuned for the official video, and don’t miss DJ HABIBEATS on tour this spring as Habibi’s House hits cities across the U.S.
