This is “Danger - خطر”: Felukah and Zina Louhaichy capturing the spirit of a generation that’s Arab, African, diasporic, and moving on its own terms. The video shines a spotlight on Arab women laughing, letting out zalghouta, and moving freely in heels or djellabas. Unapologetic, joyful, and powerful in the way they claim space.

Lyrics That Land
Felukah opens with an intimate confession:
الدنيا بين يديك / And I let you in my life / Thought you'd be a danger (خطر، خطر) / So I made you mine.” It’s a play between trust and risk, danger and desire.

Then comes the flex that bridges worlds:
Before the Luks, Lauryn Hill... فيها أم كلثوم”: placing Lauryn Hill’s soulful legacy side by side with Umm Kulthum, the eternal voice of the Arab world. This isn’t name-dropping, it’s lineage-claiming. Felukah insists Arabic women belong in the global canon of artistry.

Her verses also speak to diaspora weight: hustling between degrees, shifts, and stages, she carries multiple worlds “all up in my Nike 8s / Or in my Amina Muaddis.” It’s style, struggle, and swagger: the reality of migration in a verse.

Symbols in Motion 
The video is packed with layered cultural cues: old-school cassettes, keffiyeh, henna tattoos, bold necklaces, Moroccan and Egyptian flags, and flowing silhouettes that remix tradition with streetwear edge. Friends gather around her, rooting her voice in community rather than isolation.

A Visual Manifesto
“خطر” is more than a track; it’s a statement. Felukah raps:
I am your favorite artist's favorite rapper / بنت من البلاد / I represent diaspora too / I am the one who started up a movement.” She isn’t just performing; she’s documenting a moment where Arabic rap claims its place on the world stage.

With danger / خطر, the movement feels undeniable.
