I Love Hip Hop in Morocco is a 2007 documentary directed by Josh Asen. He and his friend Jennifer Needle travel to Morocco to film local hip hop and talk to artists who say they need more concerts to promote their music.

With support from the U.S. Embassy and Coca-Cola, they help sponsor a music festival that becomes Morocco’s first hip hop tour in three cities: Meknes, Marrakesh, and Casablanca. The shows draw thousands of fans. The film features artists like DJ Key, H-Kayne, Don Bigg, Fati Show, and the group Fnaire, highlighting the challenges of rapping in a Muslim country.
