Medina is a Swedish hip hop and rap duo formation with Arabic influences made up of Swedish artists of Tunisian descent, being Sam-E (real name Sami Daniel Rekick), a former professional football player in Tunisia and Alibi (real name Ali Jammali). The two started making music in 2003 under the name Medina after they met in Knivsta promoting a special genre they called "Haffla music" with rhythm from the Arab World mixed with hip hop.[1]
Their debut release was mixtape/album Rumble in Fiskayyet and the resulting single "Magdansös".[2] They followed up with a series of albums , Fullblod, 7 dar, Mosh Normal, Hayat and Sista Minuten. Their single "Miss Decibel" from the album Sista Minuten reached number 2 on Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Singles Chart. They have also released series of 4 mixtapes under the title Varsågod de e gratis and two volumes in the series Haffla Music.
Sam-E has released his own solo releases including the album Om ni ba Wuisste and collaborated with other artists including with OIAM in "Avundsjuka", a charting hit on Sverigetopplistan.
