Released on April 18 across all major streaming platforms, the track is more than a cultural fusion—it’s a testament to heritage, connection, and legacy. Both artists, born in Morocco and raised across different continents, bring a unique blend of styles and stories to this release, creating a piece that bridges tradition and modernity with contagious energy.
A Bridge Between Cultures
With his signature melodic approach and versatile production, Dystinct infuses “Ya Baba” with soul and emotion, while French Montana, known for his global reach and charismatic presence, delivers a powerful verse that anchors the track with confidence and authenticity. Born in Casablanca and raised in the Bronx, Montana is no stranger to merging worlds, and here he channels his Moroccan identity with bold clarity.
“I wanted this song to feel like home,” Dystinct shared. “It’s not just about where we come from, but how we celebrate that every time we create.”
The result is a soundscape that speaks across generations, fusing Arabic influences with contemporary beats and a message of cultural pride that resonates from the rhythm to the lyrics.
A Cinematic Journey Through Morocco
Shot entirely in Morocco, the accompanying music video is a visual celebration of the country’s rich heritage and modern elegance. From traditional souks and desert backdrops to modern Moroccan fashion and vibrant local scenes, the video amplifies the spirit of “Ya Baba”, inviting viewers to see Morocco through a cinematic lens.
Beyond its aesthetic, the video captures the duality of diaspora identity—the blend of belonging and distance, of nostalgia and pride. It’s a love letter to origin, told through the lens of those who’ve carried it with them around the world.

A Global Message with a Moroccan Heartbeat
“Ya Baba” arrives at a time when global audiences are yearning for authenticity. The song responds to that call, offering a melodic and visual celebration of heritage that feels both personal and universal. At its core, it honors Moroccan tradition while reimagining it through artistic innovation and emotional depth.
The single not only solidifies French Montana’s continued impact as a cross-cultural rap icon, but also cements Dystinct’s rising presence as a genre-bending artist with emotional range and international vision.
With “Ya Baba”, these two artists don’t just drop a song—they create a statement. One that invites us to listen beyond the beat and feel the heartbeat of a culture living through their voices.
