ElGrandeToto takes over with new mixtape ‘Salgoat’
Morocco’s biggest rap star ElGrandeToto (Taha Fahsi) has just dropped his highly anticipated mixtape ‘Salgoat’. Released on November 29, 2024, this 17-track project showcases the rapper at his most confident and creative.
From criticism to creation
The mixtape’s title ‘Salgoat’ cleverly plays with the Moroccan Arabic word “salgout” (meaning troublemaker) and the English “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time). This wordplay comes with a story – ElGrandeToto turned criticism from former Moroccan Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane into inspiration for his new release.
Chart-topping success
The mixtape includes ‘Diplomatico’, which has been dominating the Arabsounds Top 20 for several weeks. This track’s success shows ElGrandeToto’s growing influence in the Arab rap scene.

The 17-track collection brings together ElGrandeToto’s signature style:
- Hard-hitting rap beats
- Sharp lyrics
- Mix of Arabic and French wordplay
- Response tracks to his critics
- Collaborations with other artists
Launch event
The mixtape launch event in Casablanca on November 29 showed ElGrandeToto’s massive appeal. “I originally planned to release just three tracks,” the rapper shared, “but this turned into something bigger – that’s the rap game!”
