H-Kayne

H-Kayne (meaning "What's happening?" in Moroccan Arabic) is a pioneering Moroccan rap group formed in 1996 in Meknes. The original lineup consists of Adel Benchekroun (Sif Lssan), Hatim Bensalha (HB2), Ezzedine Bouhout (Ter 7or), Othman Benhami, and DJ Khalid. The group's breakthrough came in 2003 when they won first prize at Casablanca's prestigious music festival, L'Boulevard des Jeunes Musiciens. This victory led to their signing with Universal Music's Platinum label, marking them as one of the first Moroccan rap acts to secure an international recording contract.
