The new EP comes shortly after The Last Piece of Art, an album released in December 2023.

Pablo's upcoming tour will cover four European cities: London, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris.

On 11 October, Pablo will perform in Paris for the second time this year, at Alhambra Theatre to an audience of about 800. 

For Pablo, this year is filled with concerts in Egypt and abroad. Most recently, he performed in Istanbul alongside Aziz Maraka and the Autostrad band.

He also performed in his hometown at Alexandria Stadium earlier this month. 

Alexandria-born rapper has become one of the best-known Egyptian rappers in recent years.

Pablo collaborated with numerous rappers throughout his career, creating a network of musicians who strongly influenced their fans in Egypt and the Arab region.

In February 2020, Pablo announced that he would quit making music, yet he returned in 2021.
