As many self-made artists, Abou Elleef disappeared for several years due to particular circumstances like the incapability to fund or record albums. In 2009, he appeared again on the scene, with the hit single ‘Barkouta’, praising the soccer player Mohamed Baraket. He soon followed it with another hit single titled ‘Ettaxi’, which was also a success. In 2010, he signed with Melody Music Productions, and together they produced a hit album including a successful single titled ‘King Kong’. The album ‘Khroung’, was written by Ayman Bahgatt Kamar, composed by Mohamed Yahiya, and distributed by Tomah.
Abou Elleef raised a fuss and critics consider him as a phenomenon in Egypt because he divided the public between supporters and opposers. Supporters say he speaks about their daily life, social problems and also gives them a relief through his art. Opposers say that he represents a lost generation of young artists who sing nonsense, and has nothing but nice beats. In between and away from critics, Abou Elleef, is a pop artist who caught the attention and admiration of the people.

Abou Elleef Lyrics

مين دول اللي على الفيس بوك
لو ماشلتيش العيال دي
عليك حاسك
وأنا أنا مش خرنج
لا أنا كنج كونج
ده أنا وأنا رابط إيدي
مش ابن هانم ولا ابن لورد
اتفضلي هاتي الباسبورت
ده أنا أراجوز متربي في سيرك
مش عيل كاورك
وأناأنا مش خرنج
لاأنا كنج كونج
ده أنا وأنا رابط إيدي
بالعب بنج بونج
The lyrics to Abou Elleef's song King Kong are a playful boastful declaration of the singer's confidence and self-assurance. The song starts with the phrases "Btehebni la ashak" which means "you love me, no doubt" followed by a reference to social media, "men dol elly ala el Face Book" which translates to "who are those on Facebook?". Then the song takes a bit of a darker and possessive turn, with the lyrics "If you don't take care of these kids, you'll feel it". The singer then asserts their dominance, saying "I'm not a clown, I'm King Kong, I'm holding my ground". The playful tone returns with a reference to playing ping pong and the singer's assertion that they are a circus performer, not a regular person.
The overall approach of this song is to showcase bravado and an unwavering confidence, and the different references to popular culture and social media help to create a relatable and current feel for the song. The title "King Kong" is also significant as it is a reference to the iconic movie character known for its strength and dominance. The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's strength and dominance in their community and social circle.
