Zaarour

Zaarour is a Lebanese-American rapper, singer, and producer based in Los Angeles whose music fuses West Coast hip-hop and R&B with Arabic melodies and lyrics. He started out making EDM and rap beats as a kid on his father’s laptop, and points to influences ranging from Lebanese vocal legend George Wassouf to Kanye West and Nipsey Hussle. His 2024 single “Kalam (Come My Way)” reintroduced him after a break and remains his most-streamed track, and he has since kept a steady release pace through his “World Hip Hop” project and a run of 2026 singles. He has performed at a benefit concert for Lebanon alongside other MENA artists and speaks about wanting to tour and eventually perform back home.
