MTM's team has finished record of they recent three single songs which will be in mix (kelma 2) and they prepare now to make two video clips at least of this songs ,the mix will be available out in few next days .

the album of team MTM will be out at the forth quarter of 2007 , the team didn't decide yet which song will be head of the album

MTM Said :" the single rap songs which appear on the internet Media sites it's not made by them , or even was a test in studios & it's just attempt of youth to simulate them , they feel sorry coz it's published under MTM name !!

It all started in Alexandria, Egypt, in the summer of 1999 in the beautiful Mediterranean city where three teenagers met for the first time and set out to make Arabic hip-hop an undisputable reality. When Mahmoud and Mikey (18 years) who were already close school friends, met Takki (17 years) for the first time they all instantly hit it off which was no surprise because they were three of the biggest hip-hop fans in Alex at a time when rap was big in the city. Takki who had already started recording on his own some tracks at home was encouraged by Mahmoud and Mikey to continue experimenting and recording his catchy music. The only problem was he didn’t stand a chance rapping in English for an Arab audience and so one day Takki wrote some lyrics but this time it was different it was in Arabic. Mahmoud and Mikey said it sounded great and loved the idea. In no time the three started creating more lyrics in Arabic with the help of Takki who has more experience in writing and beats so they recorded their first underground single "ew3a weshak" (better known as “ana esmy mikey”) which was the beginning for MTM and Arabic rap. In 2001 the song spread like fire all over Alex and everyone was loving it, Mahmoud did a great job spreading it on the internet and burning copies for their friends. It was definitely something new and incredibly catchy, MTM decided they had to kick things up a notch so they performed in May 2001 at The Sporting Club in Alex and the crowd went crazy when they heard them. In the summer of 2001 MTM were well known and already making their way to becoming a household name in Alex and Cairo, and when they toured with DJ Yasser Shaker the north coast (el sa7el el shamaly), they were constantly cheered by the crowds who responded very well to the group. At one concert sound engineer Yousry Shaker told them that they could get signed by a record label and actually introduced them to a producer who instantly grabbed this opportunity and signed them on the spot.

MTM signed their first contract in 2002 and started performing at various venues in Cairo and Alex, but the deal wasn’t good enough, the producer wasn’t making any effort to release an album or video and his progress was slow. After being introduced by Nihal Sedky (model) to a famous director who showed interest in MTM's music and asked them to break their contract with their previous producer and sign with him instead. Since their producer was failing they agreed, and signed their second contract with H. El Baguri. Later on they appeared on national TV twice, they also performed at various events including Miss Teen Alex and at Dream Park on the first day of the feast. Unfortunate events such as their new producer getting convicted of a crime lead to a big delay of MTM's album and video début. Since their producer couldn’t fulfill his contract, MTM suddenly felt like they had to find a better way to release their album which was scheduled for the summer of 2002. MTM proved that nothing could stop them from fulfilling their destiny.

Maha Awad (stylist and talk show host) liked and appreciated MTM’s fresh new style so she took it on herself to find them a better deal. After trying different things they were finally offered a deal with Sony Egypt but the company later decided not to venture in Egypt because of the absence of copy right laws in the country. They were unlucky for the first few months but just as they began to give up and feel there was no hope Mikey got a call from Khoga (sound engineer) who had recorded MTM's demo, he contacted them because he knew a producer looking to sign a young group like MTM. Feeling they were perfect for this opportunity they went to Cairo and met with their third producer Ahmed Efat on a day when Mikey was supposed to go to a movie set were he had been chosen to play a role in a big movie production but he chose to go to the meeting with Efat instead. The producer was thrilled with the demo and the concert tapes, he decided that right after signing they would start recording straight away, and then shoot their first video, after recording the whole album everyone agreed that "Ummi mesafra " was the ideal hit song the group needed to create their name in the market, In July they shot the video and the album hit the streets in August, It was an Instant success, Mikey drove the girls crazy with his playboy looks and smooth voice, Mahmoud with his moves and energy and Takki with his sense of humor and approachable nature, everyone was talking about the video, the music and the lyrics, the sarcastic humor sparked waves of attacks and controversy, but all the criticism just added to the hype surrounding the song. It was a big hit and took the country by storm; you could here MTM blasting through car radios, shops, cabs, and even weddings

Everyone around the Middle East loved the album it sold more than 250,000 copies. Songs Like "Kol Leila Bas.har" Featuring Mohamed Adaweya son of the legendary Singer Ahmed Adawyea Topped the radio charts for 3 weeks. This was indeed what drove Sponsors like Coca-Cola to have MTM do their promo tour, MTM had become stars they were interviewed by the biggest Talk shows in the Middle East, and went on tour which ended in Dubai where they were awarded the Arabian Music Academy Award, MTM returned to Egypt and were shocked to find out that Mahmoud who's presence was essential for the group was drafted by the military, that didn’t stop MTM from working on their second album, Takki started writing and innovating beats with the help of Mikey who decided that he was going to add a little melody to his flow, and the album "telephony beyren" came out in November 2004 and was also a great success. The Telephony beyren video showed that MTM's music was evolving, Songs like "zay manta 3ayez" grabbed the ears of listeners in the Middle East and Arabs all over the world, "Malaksh feeha" was a big step for MTM showing that there was a totally different side to their music, Takki's lyrics were so fresh and real and Mounir Hamoudi's performance lifted the song to another level. In 2005 MTM performed at The Shooting Club in front of their biggest crowd, more than 15 thousand teenagers cheered MTM. They then appeared on the number one talk show in the Middle East with host Hala Sarhan who even joined MTM wearing a big faux fur collar coat and danced along to the music. In 2006 MTM joined with UNDP (United Nations Development Program) to help in their development campaign for Egypt, their new single "lazem bokra" which is still unreleased, discusses social and development issues in the country, the video for the song is in progress and will feature MTM in clay animated characters. MTM also performed live at a number of places including Al sakkia, Lagoon Resort, Oxygen Beach, MSA, and the dance4life event surrounding the Pyramids in Giza. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of MTM's third album and rumors have spread that MTM split up, which is completely untrue.
Like all their dedicated fans MTM is now also awaiting the release of their new album, which has been hampered by logistical issues.
