Dabzee

Dabzee is the stage name of Mohammed Fasil, a rapper, singer and songwriter born in Malappuram, Kerala, in 1991. After getting married he moved to the United Arab Emirates and took a conventional job, but he later quit to focus on rap.

He started in 2020 with the collective Manushyar, alongside M.H.R, Joker390P and SA, whose single Manushyan did well.

The song reached the Official Charts' Asian Top 40 and passed 100 million streams. He performed at Spotify's 91 Rap Live in Mumbai that December. In 2023 he wrote rap verses for Kotha Raja from King of Kotha, and he recorded La Vida with KSHMR and Vedan and Sambar with ThirumaLi, Fejo and Thudwiser.
