A genre-blending anthem that balances cultural roots, global reach, and undeniable groove. 

With a steady rise through Europe’s charts and a growing global fanbase, Dystinct has carved out a lane that’s uniquely his own—fusing Arabic melodies with contemporary pop and Afrobeat textures. Now, with the release of “Ya Baba,” the Belgian Moroccan artist levels up again,  delivering a track that’s both deeply personal and primed for international success. 

Featuring a high-powered guest appearance from rap icon French Montana, “Ya Baba” is more  than a musical collaboration—it’s a shared cultural moment. Rooted in Moroccan heritage and  framed by sleek production, the song is a celebration of identity, rhythm, and connection. It  marks a standout moment in Dystinct’s catalog, not only for its scale but for the way it bridges  generations and sounds. 

Built on a hypnotic beat and an instantly catchy hook, “Ya Baba” showcases Dystinct’s signature melodic flow—smooth, emotional, and effortless. He brings warmth and color to the track, pulling from a deep well of personal and cultural influence. His voice floats over the instrumental with intention, capturing the duality of belonging and exploration. 

Enter French Montana, whose verse adds grit and global weight. Known for his chart-topping records and unmistakable Bronx swagger, the Moroccan-born rapper steps into this track as a cultural connector rather than a headline stealer. His presence feels more like a co-sign—a bridge between mainstream hip-hop and the rising wave of North African-rooted pop artistry. 

While both artists come from different paths, “Ya Baba” finds them in alignment—honoring the past while embracing where they are now. The song doesn’t lean on nostalgia. Instead, it takes tradition and spins it forward with fresh perspective. 

Though the production is crisp and radio-ready, the heart of “Ya Baba” is unmistakably rooted in the artists’ shared heritage. It’s a rare kind of global record—one that respects its origin while speaking in the universal language of rhythm. 

Dystinct’s ability to effortlessly blend diverse sounds has made him a standout in today’s rapidly evolving music scene. His work taps into the power of cross-cultural collaborations, bringing together elements of Afrobeat, pop, and traditional Arabic music with a level of authenticity that resonates with listeners worldwide. This distinctive approach to genre fusion has made Dystinct a vital voice in the global music movement, speaking to both the first-generation diaspora and mainstream audiences alike. With “Ya Baba,” he doesn’t just maintain his signature style—he builds upon it, showcasing his growth as an artist while staying true to his roots.

The track’s global appeal is evident, poised to cross cultural boundaries and chart in new territories. The addition of French Montana not only amplifies the song’s reach but also serves as a reminder of the growing influence of North African artists in the global music scene. As artists like Dystinct continue to push the boundaries of musical genre and heritage, they are forging new paths for the next wave of talent to follow. “Ya Baba” is a celebration of where the world is heading—a place where cultures collide, and music knows no borders.

As Dystinct continues to define his sound and expand his reach, “Ya Baba” stands as a major milestone. With French Montana on board, the record isn’t just another feature-driven single— it’s a statement of cultural pride and artistic evolution. 

In a time where global music is louder and more diverse than ever, “Ya Baba” doesn’t just join  the conversation—it leads with purpose.
