This month, witness the best of Indian hip-hop on one stage at the Haq Se Hindustan concert. A truly representative showcase of the incredible diversity within hip-hop, the event on November 14th at Mumbai’s Famous Studios will feature 10 acts from 7 cities performing in 9 languages. This is the first time this spectrum of talent, which includes some of India's most talented rappers, MCs, crews and bands, will be sharing a common stage. 

Haq Se Hindustan is a part of #HaqSeHipHop, a unique multi-platform hip-hop property launched by India's leading digital media firm Qyuki and the iconic music magazine Rolling Stone India. 

The Dharavi Dream Project (Mumbai)Zake (Mumbai) Rolling Stone India and Qyuki have been early supporters and stakeholders in India’s hip-hop ecosystem from its fledgling days, and with Haq Se Hindustan, both endeavor to give the diverse hip-hop voices in India a definitive mouthpiece they can claim as their own. 

Says Nirmika Singh, Executive Editor, Rolling Stone India, “There’s so much more to Indian hip-hop than what we have seen so far, and with Haq Se Hindustan we hope to present the incredible multi-cultural expressions India has to offer across all five elements in hip-hop: from rapping, b-boying, beatboxing, DJing and graffiti. There’s no denying India is witnessing a mini-revolution in hip-hop — the established artists are consolidating their influence while the emerging talent is claiming their part.” 

The core idea behind #HaqSeHindustan is to bring to focus the true hip-hop representatives from the North, South, East, West and North-East of India.
