Four rappers, Moroccan hills, zero WiFi. This is where the magic actually happens.
< Above the Noise > is an intimate documentary capturing the creative retreat behind the making of NAFIDA, the collaborative EP by Small X and Saib. Joined by Yo Asel and Saad El Baraka, the four artists isolated themselves in the hills of Sidi Mghayet, Morocco, to reconnect with their craft and let the music breathe, far from the noise of the world. Together, they built the soundscape that became NAFIDA - a project born from silence, friendship, and raw inspiration.
