The more you listen to Mustafa, you begin to realize that the juxtaposition of the gritty street life he depicts and the gentle music he makes shouldn’t be much of a juxtaposition at all. Half of the singer-songwriter’s debut project,
When Smoke Rises, has been released as singles, with music videos capturing the brick and concrete exteriors of Toronto’s Regent Park housing project, where he was born and raised. In the video for “Stay Alive,” a searing portrait of his community and his commitment to it, black and brown men in chains and hoodies make elaborate hand gestures to the camera as Mustafa pleads for their survival. He offers himself to them to ensure it. “Just put down that bottle, tell me your sorrows,” he sings. “I care about you fam.”  His folk-infl ....

LOS ANGELES In the middle of Mustafa’s potent, chilling and heart-rending debut EP, “When Smoke Rises,” is “The Hearse,” a startling two-minute meditation on revenge in the wake of a friend’s murder.
“I was all about the peace/I didn’t wanna risk it all/Oh, I know what’s at stake,” he sings, trying to maintain equanimity in the face of trauma. But his mood, and the song a soft folk number with fingerpicked acoustic guitar and an almost unconscious, corporeal rhythm takes a somber, unexpected turn: “But you made yourself special/I wanna throw my life away/For you.” ....

Mustafa Honours His Grief Through Beautiful Poetry on 'When Smoke Rises'


9
On debut album 
When Smoke Rises, Mustafa uses his acclaimed poetic ability to deliver a raw and emotional story about the dangers and hopes of living in Toronto s oldest social housing project, Regent Park. Those same dangers led to the untimely losses of his friends Ali Rizeig and rapper Smoke Dawg, who was the victim of a shooting outside of a Toronto nightclub in 2018. Still dealing with grief, Mustafa uses his gifted poeticism to express his feelings of pain, hurt and hope, and he masterfully crafts it all into a timeless journey for the world to hear.
Album opener Stay Alive serves as as a window into Mustafa s soul as he elegantly sings over a sombre guitar about the struggles of surviving to see another day. It s in this musical approach that Mustafa is able to harness the immense power of his storytelling as honed through his poetry, which he first earned praise for as a child. Driven by slow-burning, guitar-driven tracks, the album flows gracefully, wit ....

Mustafa Ahmed has been known as many things: spoken-word poet; folk singer; pop songwriter; documentary filmmaker; devout Muslim; Halal Gang representative; spokesperson for his Regent Park community; child of Sudanese immigrants; former member of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Youth Advisory Board; one time Pan American Games Poet Laureate; collaborator of acts like Majid Jordan, The Weeknd and Khalid; brother; friend; provider.
When he was younger, Mustafa was able to drift through sub-communities and spaces - mosques, playgrounds and theatres - that served various aspects of the identity he was carving for himself without being labeled as any one thing, or confined to a singular narrative. However, as his visibility has grown, he’s found that the understanding and allowance of what he refers to as a “fullness of experience” has ....
