H-Kayne made history in 2005 by becoming the first Morccan rap group to be signed to a major label, Platinum Records (an affiliate of Universal Music Group). The group's founding memebers hail from the city of Meknes and began performing together over ten years ago. In 2000, they were joined by DJ Khalid (a semifinalist at the 2000 DMC world DJ competition) and released their hugely popular debut album, #4 Son de bled Art, which they distributed themselves and followed up with performances all over Morocco. In 2006, they released their much anticipated second album, " HK 1426" and toured throughout Europe and the Middle East. They are currently working on their third album and touring France and the Netherlands.

Wow, Sana I didn't know there was Morocco Hip Hop group. Your article really showed that you don't have to a black artist to rap. That is a stigma that has been going around alot for the past couple of years. Also, it showed how huge these Morocco group is grouping with DJ Klaled. That was huge for them. Not only that they reach number four on the chart, amazing. Thanks again, Sana this article really showed no matter what country you are from you people will still enjoy your music.
