Mohamed Ramadan Teams Up With Ilyah for New Single "I Don’t Know"

Egyptian rap star-actor Mohamed Ramadan and Moroccan-American R&B artist Ilyah joined forces for a new duet, "I Don’t Know."

Released on Wednesday, the track explores themes of self-confidence, ambition, and pride in one's identity, combining cultures and rhythms.

"I Don’t Know" blends pop with Afrobeat influences and Middle Eastern rhythms. 

The single features Ilyah's distinctive Moroccan style fused with Ramadan's energetic rap, resulting in a modern track that incorporates North African music traditions with international sounds.

Ramadan, born on May 23, 1988, began acting while at school. He began his career with small roles in TV series, such as “The Cinderella,” until he had his big break in Yousry Nasrallah’s “Ehky Ya Sharazad” (Tell me, Shahrazad).

He then starred in blockbusters by Egyptian producers Mohamed and Ahmed El Sobky, becoming one of the Middle East's top actors.

Ramadan received the award for greatest nationwide talent three times consecutively – an unprecedented achievement.

He is perhaps the only Egyptian actor to have been praised by the internationally renowned actor Omar El-Sherif, who stated that he had chosen him to perpetuate his acting legacy.

Ramadan began exploring rap in the past years and releasing music videos for his singles.
