So the freshest and the most exciting thing in the indian underground at present (as you might guess) is “Nasir Chronicles : Quality Edition” EP by the earlier lesser known producer Nasir El-Amin and also a rapper of from Thane. It is very amazing to see such great production from a place were there was not much of Hip Hop. A whole EP of just beats/instrumentals. UML states the EP as a precedent for indian underground music. Reaching 2600+ downloads within 48 hours, “Nasir Chronicles : Quality Edition” is surely one turn for the underground. Already hailed as the best sampled EP so far in the Indian Underground, verdicts are accompanied with the kinds of : “Sampling Redefined” by Noxious D, “A Class Apart” by Dee MC, “Diamond in the dirt shining” by Poetik Justis, 5 points on a single track “The Devil Pops” by a major figure like Brodha V, called out as “Genuis” by multiple entities, the EP barely scores any rating below 9/10 by fellow emcees, producers and audiences. The EP is said to be so good, 3 beats have already been bought off it. For something so less intimated priorly and not marketed at all, to acheive such acclaim truly needs to have something magical in it. Each of the 8 (+1 bonus) tracks (as said by Dee MC) “unfolds itself so beautifully, I could visualize without opening my eyes at all like I were on LSD”. Also has it been blatantly called out as a more thoughtful version of Yeezus by Kanye West. Phew! Doesn’t sound like something one should miss, at least not something so loved amongst everybody out there. When asked about his thoughts on the reception, all he said was, “I just wanted to tell a story, paint the picture of a journey and maybe I did it right.”
