Omar Boflot
Omar Boflot
Boflot is a half Egyptian half Filipino rapper. He started
rapping in 1995 in night clubs in Ghana and then joined a band
called "Patty Riddaz", which means party riders. The band was unique to
the Ghana community as it consisted of two Ghana rappers and one
Egyptian rapper. Patty Riddaz performed on a weekly show called "fun
world" and were aired every fortnight on Ghana TV. Boflot continued with the Patty Riddaz until he
returned to Egypt in 1998. He eventually met Yassin Zahran, a half
Egyptian half Algerian rapper, who like Boflot rapped in French and
English. They developed a close friendship and in 2001 they decided to
rap in Arabic. As a result they formed the group Y-Crew. Boflot
explained how he then "thought of rap as a career. People were
interested in hearing rap in a language they understand. So this helped
us move fast." Boflot's musical lyrics are based on "what we feel," he
said. He tries to address issues on behalf of the people of the Arab
world. The support of Boflot's family, friends and especially Hip HopNa
Hosts Fredwreck and Qusai pushed him to follow this path and keep
pursuing his dream which is to one day become a renowned producer.
Currently, Boflot is building his underground studio and working on his
TV show "Make it Happen." Information about that is still to be
announced. He is also working on tracks with artists from the middle
east and international artists. Born in Nigeria then moved from here to there and so on
and stopped in Ghana in 1993. That was when Omar Boflot joined an
underground band called Patty Riddaz which meant "Party Riders". Omar
got the roots of true Hip Hop to the fullest until one day had to
leave for Egypt suddenly. It was then he met Yassin "9mm" aka "alien X"
1998 and formed a band who loved to to rap for no reason (runs both in
their blood), at that time there was no such thing as Arabic rap so the
boys used English and French to rap for fun. In no time Yassin and Omar Decided to changed the band name
and language of the rap lyrics so that their MSG could be in a whole
new level, they called themselves Y crew and rapped about interesting
topics that got the attention of the fans.
