Touch is a Palestinian rapper with a sharp tone and fluid, layered flow.
Background
Rolling Stone MENA selected Touch for its Future Radar 2026 list, describing a rapper with a sharp tone, fluid flow and layered phrasing that builds immersive atmospheres.
Releases and milestones
The debut EP MSEBEH is described as a raw record of resilience and family turned into sound, and Kattal revives the figure of the faris, the warrior-poet of classical Arab tradition, with Shabjdeed and producer Smokaholic. Scene Noise covered “Kattal” on 5 May 2026, a release from the Ramallah-based BLTNM collective produced by Smokaholic, describing grime-heavy intensity over a beat that draws on UK and Chicago drill and trap, with Touch entering with a more animated contrast to Shabjdeed.
Where to start
“MSEBEH” (prod. Smokaholic) from the debut EP.
