‘Wjahna Deep’ is a personal track; Issam sings about a dark past and an unforeseeable future, the state of being aware and lost in a life transition.

‘Wjahna Deep’ follows on from Issam’s self-released track ‘Nike’ released earlier this year. Throughout his music, Issam blends autotuned vocals in Darija or Moroccan Arabic, classic trap beats and elements from traditional North African music.
