  • It's important to talk about your expectations

  • versus your reality when you are visiting somewhere.

  • And I think Egypt can give off the idea or the notion

  • that it's oppressive to women, or that there's

  • all these problems.

  • And that's not to say there aren't problems, but for me

  • as a female Egyptian rapper coming up in the scene,

  • I have so much hope and so much ambition,

  • and I only see the glass half full.

  • I think we can work together and through solidarity

  • and empathy lift each other up to see the future that we

  • really want to create.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING - FELUKAH]

  • It's your girl, Felukah.

  • I'm a hip hop neo soul artist between Egypt, New York,

  • and pretty much the rest of the world.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING - FELUKAH]

  • Now, you may not know this, but a felukah in Arabic

  • is actually a sailboat that runs along the Nile River.

  • To look out and see Cairo all around you

  • surrounded by the Nile River.

  • That's how we float.

  • Nile city flow, Nile River flow, Nile River flow, Nile River

  • flow.

  • breathing right here in Cairo capital, downtown Cairo.

  • That's my city.

  • This my city.

  • That's my city.

  • Beautiful.

  • to create this kind of a beauty and kitsch at the same time.

  • [ARABIC MUSIC PLAYING]

  • I am right now at Abo Tarek, one of the best places

  • There's just an unspoken camaraderie, loyalty,

  • and an aptitude for fun here that just doesn't

  • hit the same as anywhere else.
