A cross-generational collaboration that merges culture, memory, and modern sound—captured on the soil that started it all.
French Montana and Dystinct have joined forces on “Ya Baba,” a new track that’s less about trends and more about legacy. Rooted in Moroccan heritage and brought to life through rich visuals and genre-bending sound, the song is a reflection of where they come from—and how far they’ve come.
The single arrives as a powerful homage to identity. French Montana, born in Casablanca and raised in the Bronx, returns to his beginnings with a sense of gratitude and clarity. Known globally for hits like “Unforgettable” and collaborations with the world’s biggest names, “Ya Baba” marks a rare moment of grounding. It’s a love letter to the culture that shaped him—raw, reflective, and unmistakably real.
On the other end, Dystinct, the Belgian Moroccan artist redefining the borders of Arabicinfluenced pop, brings a melodic touch that’s as emotionally layered as it is rhythmically sharp. His rise has been fueled by a unique blend of global sounds, and with “Ya Baba,” he steps into a space that feels both personal and communal.
But the song isn’t just heard—it’s seen. Shot across Morocco, the music video captures the textures, tones, and spirit of the country. From sweeping desert scenes to vibrant urban corners, every frame feels like a memory, every look a nod to generations past. Rather than romanticizing Morocco, the video grounds it—offering a perspective that’s lived-in and lovingly familiar.
“Ya Baba” isn’t trying to prove anything. It’s not manufactured fusion or calculated crossover. It’s the sound of two artists standing in their truth, sharing a rhythm born from heritage but made for now.
In a global landscape where identity often gets flattened, French Montana and DYSTINCT bring theirs to the forefront—unapologetically. And in doing so, “Ya Baba” becomes more than a song. It becomes a moment.
As fans across cultures and continents tune in, one thing is clear: This isn’t just a track about where they’re from. It’s a reminder that you can always go back—and bring the world with you.
