Molotof Drops Dual-Version Single ‘قانون اللعبة
Molotof Drops Dual-Version Single 'قانون اللعبة | RISK' Egyptian producer Molotof returns with 'قانون اللعبة | RISK', a two-version single that marks a pivotal shift in his musical identity. Known for pioneering the sonic blueprint dubbed Molowave, this release positions him as a narrator threading emotion, memory, and rebellion through rhythm. The first version flips Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' into a rap-laced rework. Arabic instruments like the qanun and kawala weave through his bars, grounding the Western classic in a Middle Eastern vibe. The second version arrives entirely original - a cinematic fusion of heavy drums, spectral synths, and Cairo grit. Both versions sit under the same lyrical umbrella: a raw, Arabic-language manifesto on artistic defiance and inner power. Lines like: 'انا مش بنتمي لعالم صوتي هو الجسر / فارد جنحاتي صقر / برمي الزهر و مش مستني اشق البحر' channel a sonic and spiritual liberation. With 'RISK', Molotof invites us into a dual universe - one where East meets West, and every sound carries intention. 'This is the game now,' he says. 'I'm not afraid to take the risk. I didn't want to remake a song. I wanted to show that one track can live in two worlds.'

‘Connection and belonging': South Salt Lake Mural Fest returning this weekend
SOUTH SALT LAKE () — South Salt Lake Arts Council's eighth annual Mural Fest is coming up this weekend, featuring 13 new murals and the largest one ever painted in South Salt Lake. According to the South Salt Lake Arts Council, both local and international muralists will be presenting their art in the festival. On May 10, there will be an official 'unveiling' from 4-8 p.m., where the public will get a chance to walk a mural route and meet and greet with the artists. There will also be a community celebration at Bowers Way and West Temple, filled with live music, food trucks, interactive art activities, and vendors. Benson Boone to close out 'American Heart' tour at the Delta Center this fall 'South Salt Lake proudly hosts the state's largest collection of outdoor murals, offering everyone free access to remarkable art that highlights our Downtown. Our murals have become more than just paintings on buildings — they uplift spirits, foster community connections, and position South Salt Lake as a cultural hotspot in the Salt Lake Valley. Each May, we eagerly anticipate Mural Fest, as thousands come together to celebrate. I warmly welcome everyone to join us,' said Mayor Cherie Wood in a press release. The South Salt Lake Arts Council shares that one of the most anticipated artists this year is RISK, who founded the West Coast graffiti scene. His resume includes painting sets for musicians, such as Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aerosmith, as well as commercial work with Budweiser, and an art project in the 2012 Summer Olympics. In addition, they shared that an exciting location for one of the murals this year is South Salt Lake City Hall. Muralist DAAS from Austin, Texas, will be returning to finish a mural he started on the back side of the City Hall building last year. He will continue his work along the north and west walls. It's expected to be a 9,000 square foot mural of 'living landscape' on the only City Hall in Utah covered in public art. 'I believe that large-scale murals and public art have the power to bring people together and inspire a sense of community,' said DAAS in the release. 'I strive to create art that not only catches the eye but also evokes a sense of connection and belonging.'
