Me and Shaikh representing Bombay Lokal. I spat this Hindi verse on the 1Train beat last and the video went viral having multi-million views. It was a very strong kickoff for a young solo artist as it put me on the map and that verse had just exclusively been on there as it was a freestyle verse, not part of any song or such but I kept getting comments from fans and listeners asking me to release a separate audio version.
So I randomly decided to record this around the last 3 days of 2019, initially planning to begin the new year by dropping it on the first.
But here it is now, with a few additional verses one of which is in my mother tongue Tulu and the other in English. A trilingual spaz out on the whole beat as part of the #PlanetBars series and all the verses included were written in 2016.

“In the ’80s when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style, meaning that it’s not [on] a [particular] subject matter—it’s not a story about a woman, it’s not a story about poverty, it’s basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself, so it’s basically free of style.... That’s really what a freestyle is. Off-the-top-of-the head [rapping], we just called that “off the dome”—when you don’t write it and [you] say whatever comes to mind.” - Big Daddy Kane.
Here's an ode to the old school style of emceeing on one of the greatest modern boom bap beats ever and 2 weeks before the second anniversary of the verse that began it all. Cheers.🥂
