His music blends Western trap and hip hop with Egyptian Mahraganat, Shaabi folk music, R&B, and Afrobeats. Wegz first gained national attention with the 2018 single "TNT" and broke into wider Arab mainstream consciousness with the 2020 single "Dorak Gai" (دورك جي, "You're Next"), which accumulated more than 24 million YouTube views within two months of release.
