Raga, the provocative voice of Northern Indian rap with hits like “Kheench Maari”, “Kaleshi Chori”, “Galat Karam” and the latest release ‘Gandi Bimari’ the rap track of Mirzapur 3, joins forces with 26-year-old production prodigy Karan Kanchan for “Soot Samet.” This hard-hitting track offers a raw and provocative glimpse into Raga’s Jamnapaar origins, announcing his arrival as a major force in the Indian hip-hop scene.
Currently seen on MTV Hustle 4 as a squad leader, Raga is known for his cutthroat bars and fierce delivery which leave no doubt about his place at the top of the game, honed in Delhi’s underground cyphers. Years of struggle have fuelled this moment, and the track’s intensity reflects Raga and Kanchan’s determination to claim their rightful place in the industry. Kanchan, whose billion-plus Spotify streams, and work with artists like Divine solidify his status as a South Asian rap heavyweight, brings his signature blend of hip-hop, drill, and more to amplify Raga’s already commanding presence. This collaboration is a meeting of two undeniable forces in the Indian music scene.
Def Jam India and Red Bull 64 Bars presents the fifth of song the season, bringing together two of India’s most dynamic musical forces with “Soot Samet”. The track’s raw energy and uncompromising lyrics promise to resonate with fans and solidify Raga’s position as a force to be reckoned with.
