From Collaborations With The Weeknd to Beyoncé, Belly Chronicles Three Decades of Music

From collaborations with The Weeknd to Beyoncé, Belly chronicles three decades of music.

With a prolific body of work that has graced the albums of music icons like The Weeknd and Beyoncé, Belly’s artistic journey stands as a testament to his ability to craft lines that cut through the hearts of hip-hop fans over nearly three decades. In this two-part interview with Billboard Arabia, hosted by Yassin Alsalman (aka Narcy, a rapper and a professor of hip-hop at Concordia University), the two musicians walk down memory lane, unpacking Belly’s legendary career, his favorite rap bars and his philosophies on life. The conversation between Belly and Yassin, who both grew up in the Arab diaspora in Canada, finds a point of departure within the immigrant experience in North America, a plight woven by a tapestry of stories reflecting challenges and triumphs to build a compelling narrative of struggle, resilience and choice.
