Yassine Saddok, known by his stage name FIGOSHIN, is a Moroccan rapper originally from Taza, but who represents Ifrane, where he grew up and discovered his passion for music.
At just 15 years old, FIGOSHIN began gaining attention through freestyles posted on Facebook, marked by a raw energy that left no one indifferent. He quickly followed up with several singles such as "3oud Ned" and "Track Bla Hook," building an initial base of loyal fans.
Beyond his talent as a rapper, FIGO, as he’s affectionately called by those close to him, is also a music producer with a distinct identity. He stands out with his raspy voice and bold lyrics, delving into topics rarely explored in Moroccan rap, including mental health.
Drawing inspiration from his native region in his sounds and storytelling, he has managed to unite both hip-hop purists and the general public around his art, establishing himself as a key figure in the national hip-hop scene.
