32-year-old multi-platinum American rapper and songwriter O.T. Genasis needs no introduction. The Long Beach native has an incredible catalogue of hits, everything he drops has to be grandiose, from the record to the visual to the overall vibe. His forthcoming standout collaboration will mark his debut innings in the Indian music landscape and will see him featuring in 21-year-old Mumbai born singer-songwriter Aryaana G’s maiden music single titled Stockholm Syndrome. 

The smashing tune, in which Aryaana G’s dreamy vocals and soulful melodies are accentuated by O.T. Genasis’ rapid-fire bars and Almost Famous duo’s sublime production is available on all streaming platforms. The track which was shot in Los Angeles and produced by Enable finds the Indian native showcasing an unapologetic perspective on the dichotomy of human nature.  

Accompanied by lucid visuals, the uninhibited warehouse milieu sets the flawless high intensity stakes as the record metaphorically takes inspiration from the psychological phenomenon of capture-bonding, while it navigates around the theme of the contrasting elements of negativity and positivity. The song featuring both the artists in the slick video, narrates a story of how everybody can at some point become hostage to their negative attributes and defend their dark side sometimes to the extent of falling in love with it. 

Aryaana G who recently shifted her base from Mumbai to Los Angeles and signed up with Collabtribe, a live events and experiential marketing firm, co-founded by Hardik Zaveri and Alaanna Panday, to focus on her music career says, “I have always been an ardent fan of OT Genasis since as far as I can remember. I was over the moon when he finally agreed to jump onto my debut single. I penned this song when I was 16 and I am finally launching it five years later with my dream collaborator. I met up with the duo Almost Famous during the lockdown earlier this year and they helped me breathe life into the project. I am looking forward to many more exciting collaborations in 2021.” 

Describing himself as ‘young, wild, turnt, happy, humble, and high off life’, O.T. Genasis is all about turning up and living life to its’ fullest. Though currently he is taking this downtime in quarantine to explore the theme of self-introspection. He says, “‘Stockholm Syndrome’ is special for me because I don’t do music with a lot of women and it’s been a great experience doing a song with her.  This is probably my second or third collaboration ever in life, so it’s just been great overall.  Aryaana has a great song and we are doing a video together, it’s amazing. You know she’s from the other side of the world and I’m from somewhere else and it’s amazing to fuse these synergies. The song speaks for itself, my verse talks about all these relationship problems but I kept it fresh.  I hope to come to India soon, once this virus calms down. I remember coming to India last November and I love the people, they’re really cool and genuine, they’ve shown me a lot of hospitality and been very warm. Make sure you listen to Aryaana, to OT, live life!”
