Artistic career

Faten Ben Khaled adopted the stage name F.B.K and began her career as a rapper with her own style, seeking a fusion between rap, poetry, and personal expression.

She combines music with words — in Arabic — and takes advantage of her training in Arabic language and literature to craft lyrics with depth.

According to sources, F.B.K “is a promising voice in the new generation” of the Tunisian scene. Highlights and Particularities

A young woman (born in 2000) emerging in a scene traditionally dominated by men, giving her figure a sense of novelty and potential.

Her formal training in Arabic language and literature suggests that her lyrics have a literary or poetic component that goes beyond "pure" rap.

F.B.K. appears listed on websites that highlight "rap/poetry" in a female and emerging environment, suggesting that she seeks, perhaps, not only to sing but also to speak/express herself from a perspective of gender, identity, and perhaps cultural challenges.

Context of the Tunisian Scene

The rap scene in post-revolutionary Tunisia (after 2011) has served as a means of expression and protest for many young people, and artists often have to navigate social, political, or cultural restrictions.

Although there is no public indication that F.B.K. has been involved in controversies or arrests (unlike some better-known male rappers), she emerges in an environment where "rap = criticism, rap = voice of the margins".
