Rachid El Ghazoui (born 27 January 1983), also known by his stage name Appa, is a Dutch rapper of Moroccan descent.[1][2]

In 2002, he joined rap formation Tuindorp Hustler Click (THC), but decided to go solo. He is known for the political content of his lyrics and criticism of nationalist MP Geert Wilders.[citation needed] He also strongly identifies with the social problems of Moroccan youths.[2] In November 2007, his first album called Straatfilosoof (Street Philosopher) appeared. In an interview he calls the album "autobiographical" and a "user guide for the people who don't understand us (Moroccan youths)".[1]
