Who is Stormy?
Stormy, whose real name is Yasser El Malih, is a Moroccan rapper and songwriter from Rabat. He grew up in a musical family, where his older brothers introduced him to everything from metal to Moroccan and American hip-hop, before he settled on rap. He broke through in 2020 with a run of singles including Fratello, 777 and Africain, then widened his audience in 2021 with Jackpot, a joint album with Tagne. His 2024 album Iceberg was led by Popo, a Brazilian funk-inspired track with a video shot in Rio de Janeiro that passed 45 million YouTube views. He followed it with the surprise EP Omega in 2025 and the album Desperado in 2026. Rapping in Moroccan Darija and French, he moves easily between trap, drill, Afrobeat and Brazilian funk.
