Connan is a Sudanese rapper who grew up in Egypt, known for aggressive verses delivered with a relaxed, unhurried flow.
Background
Connan was born in Khartoum and raised in Egypt, a route shared by many Sudanese artists of his generation. Regional press counts him among the Sudanese rappers worth following, pointing to a style that sets hard-edged verses against a laid-back delivery.
Releases and milestones
His breakout came with the single “Liga” (August 2024). The track uses Afrobeats as a texture over a drill and trap foundation, finding a middle ground between street credibility and wider appeal. Its official video has passed 1.9 million views on YouTube. In 2026, Complex MENA included him in its “On the Rise” list of hip-hop voices that caught the editors’ ear.
Where to start
“Liga” is the natural entry point: it captures the contrast between his tough verses and the lighter, melodic backing that made it his most widely heard release.
