01. Wido Prince's Journey
About
Wido Prince is a visionary Iraqi artist based in Dubai, celebrated for his groundbreaking fusion and pioneering spirit. As one of the founding pillars of Iraqi rap, Wido planted its roots, built its underground culture, and helped elevate it to international stages.

Renowned for rapping and blending Afrobeats, Amapiano, and traditional Arabic sounds—delivered in English, Arabic, and Yoruba—he stands as the first artist to craft this unique sonic fusion on the global music scene.
