Desi Bars is exactly the kind of the track that had made me fall in love with Hip-hop music when I had heard it first- music with raw and real rhymes over Old-school instrumentals. This track shaped up when Me and Moin got together to work on building a soundscape that we both can resonate with. This #boombap beat produced by Moin, invoked multiple emotions in me and I penned this song down vibing to it.
.
This song speaks of my personal life experience of living over 14 years in the northern suburbs of Mumbai, namely Nalasopara-Virar. In the second verse, I talk about some personal losses and triumphs that I witnessed in my life, amidst the hustle and bustle of Mumbai.

This cinematic video is shot Impromptu by Prettyboi, who has beautifully captured the essence of the song and the place. This particular Music video is a tribute to Sopara-Virar, the part of the city that has shaped me both as a Hip-hop artist & as a person and is dedicated to the people who grind there relentlessly.
I hope ya'll will feel this!
