When challenges arise, how do you stay true to yourself? For Jeddah-based Saudi rapper Asayel Bishi, the answer is clear. Instead of being discouraged by obstacles or criticism, she channels them into creative energy. That determination powers her latest Arabic single, 100/100 - a confident celebration of self-belief and ambition that stands out with purpose.
Released earlier this month via MDLBEAST Records, '100/100' marks a powerful evolution from her first ever breakout Arabic hit ‘Asliyah,’ which first countered naysayers and introduced us to Asayel’s signature Hejazi slang and unshakable confidence. With ‘100/100,’ Asayel proves she's not just ahead of critics; she's leagues beyond them - a force to be reckoned with in the MENA rap and hip-hop scene.
100/100 Music Video
A mini teaser on Instagram for '100/100' had us hooked. And the music video? A full-on vibe that does justice to the song’s fiery spirit.
The video transitions shortly to a meeting room, but Asayel isn't here to take notes. Dressed in a chic suit, she steps onto the boardroom table, unleashing a lyrical firestorm. Her sharp movements and bold presence command the space while those around her look on with a mix of confusion and judgment. But she’s not here for their approval. She’s here to speak her truth, loud and clear.
From boardroom to studio, she makes one thing clear: this isn’t just “uh, uh, uh”; It’s a mission. Surrounded by mics and TV screens, she’s broadcasting her stardom vision to the world.
With her signature swagger, bold drumbeats and slick wordplay, Asayel doesn't just ride above criticism, she owns it. What some might mistake for attitude is, in fact, a self-empowered and assertive artist at the peak of her craft. The sound itself is a vivid, electrifying production that shakes you to the core, mirroring the lyrics' rebel-with-a-cause spirit. It's a brilliant blend of rap, R&B, and pop that cements her intent to lead and shape the MENA rap movement.
Asayel’s influence goes beyond the charts. You’ve probably seen her at major events like MDLBEAST’s Soundstorm Festival and the June 2025 London Showcase, effortlessly pulling in crowds. But she's not just performing; she's empowering.
With ‘100/100,’ Asayel is doing more than just entering the scene; she’s transforming it, proving that she will not slow down or compromise her vision for anyone. The track isn’t just for her; it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever been told they can’t. So, turn up the volume. Own your power. Rise like you were born to!
‘100/100’ is out on all streaming platforms via MDLBEAST Records.
