Q1. “Manj Musik” has been prevalent in the Desi Hip Hop scene as well as mainstream for a long time, how does it feel to be affiliated with something this prestigious ?
I’m a firm believer when it comes to destiny. I think what happened was meant to happen. Manj is A musical genius and A hitmaker. There is no doubt about that, he’s been straight with me since aay 1 and always treated me like family, you sense a real dude when you see one. I’m very excited and blessed at the same time to be affiliated with a guy like him. I remember bumpin’ RDB tunes when I was A little kid, and him Being my mentor now, I can learn a lot from him, weather it be music or other stuff.
Q2. Your grind has been different from the other Punjabi rappers and it involved several mixtapes, videos and singles. How has the journey been thus far ?
I never thought or wanted to become what I am today, I had no expectations when I started, I just loved rap music. And my grind has been different than these other cats you right about that coz I did what nobody else was doing, a very simple thing, drop music. My propaganda from day 1 was to flood the market and that’s the reason I’m about to drop my “9th Mixtape” ‘Last Resort’ on Christmas and I have no plan on stopping. People hated Me, dissed Me, made fun Of me but I just didn’t stop, I don’t know why, I just didn’t stop from making music till I was good At it. Again, Destiny.

Read Between the Lines…
Q5. You have definitely been a hard working force to be dealt with. Are there people who you would like give a shout out to ?
