I. ‘Rain Girl’ By Adi AVG
Rain girl by Mumbai-based rapper Adi AVG is a brilliant medley of Aditya’s flawless flow juxtaposed with chopped up samples from the iconic hindi number ‘Ladki bheegi bhagi si’ strung into a trap-type beat by Delhi based music producer NDS. The song’s catchy hook sees Adi dish out tightly-knit Hindi rhymes with punch, power, and precision; a novelty in Adi’s music considering his norm of rapping in English. After every powerful Hindi-hook, Adi switches back to English verses almost effortlessly. The song’s background samples blend perfectly with its witty verses and Adi’s signature style give the song a distinct edge.
II. ‘Brave Noise’ By The Earth below
A song highlighting the dark and gloomy sound of Alt-rock / metal music spearhead Deepak raghu’s new album, ‘brave noise’ talks about the bubbling paranoia and apprehension weighing one’s heart and soul down, right when they’re faced with a moment of truth. Brave noise is a grim reminder of the desperation one experiences on watching their life fall apart and dreams slip away. Deepak’s raspy voice and broad vocal range lend the track its fine edge and make it rock-fodder for metal-heads around the country.
III. ‘S.L.A.B’ By Parimal Shais x Hanumankind
Houston-raised rapper Hanumankind may have spent a majority of his early years in Texas, but his real roots lie in India’s culture-rich south, namely the Malipuram district in the north of Kerala. The punch and flow in his music can be attributed to his strong southern influence. Fellow Kerala-based music producer Parimal Shais’s shared cultural background with HMK and collective vision towards carving out a niche for English-rap in India, led to the birth of S.L.A.B, their Red Bull Premiere debut. Featuring proud references to the south side and its culture, Hanumankind’s unapologetic verses layered over Parimal’s tasteful beat, give the track its distinct sound.
