Soof

Soof is the Egyptian-American multi-disciplinary artist and renaissance man known to most as Seif Hamid. Soof’s musical roots date back to the early days of the Arab hip-hop scene, having co-created the first Egyptian-American hip-hop group The Desert Crew back in the mid 90s. For most of the early 2000s and 2010s, Soof stayed under the radar, working behind the scenes and mostly producing and songwriting for other artists. Now he’s back at it as a solo artist and producer, having released a handful of hip-hop singles, the acclaimed Jay-Z remix album Jai Hov (https://mwblife.bandcamp.com/album/jai-hov) and an instrumental project called Vibrations since re-emerging in 2020. Soof’s debut solo album Dreams In Kufi will begin releasing in May 2022 along with a package of multi-format and multi-sensory art pieces. Soof is based in Los Angeles, CA and promises to bring a unique style to the scene both musically and lyrically, occupying a very real and organic sonic space where east meets west and vintage meets fresh.
