Tell is your Gully boy experience
Truly a blessing to be a part of such an incredible
film. The set atmosphere was super chilled yet
everyone was very much in the zone and dedicated
to getting the job done. Ranveer is the most energetic
human you will meet but is also a very kind and
humble person.. very inspiring to be around. Big
shout out to Zoya and her entire crew, they really
brought this story to life.
You have collaborated with leading musicians
in your space over the last couple years. Which
has been your best experience so far and why?
Performing with Monica Dogra at the Mumbai
Opera House for International Woman’s Day was an
awesome experience, but the two collaborations I’m
super excited about have to release, one being a track
with Raftaar called Me & My Pen, the second being
with the entire Gully Gang camp for a cypher, both
dropping very soon.
For a person who has never heard you before,
how would you describe your music?
Full of emotion and energy. Hard hitting Hip-Hop
drums laced with grand global sounds from my
worldwide upbringing.
How do you think hip hop scene in India has
evolved over the years?
ARTIST OF THE MONTH
SHAH
RULE
Artists have taken it more seriously and the fans
have taken a serious liking to the music. As the
independent music scene has also grown and venues/
festivals/platforms have given more support to the
genre, it’s allowed artists to reach global stardom
plus inspire future artists from all over the country.
What challenges did you face when you started?
Can’t really pin point when I started because I had
different stints in Russia, UK and now most recently
in India. But everything an artist goes through,
from knocking on doors of labels/venues/promote,
countless free shows, teaching myself to produce,
shoot/edit videos, design artwork etc.. and then
there the creative side of finding your side, figuring
what you want to say and the 10+ years of lyrical/
songwriting development. The challenges still come
at you at all shapes and sizes but it’s part of the grind!
