The musical duo “Adhi and Jeeva” popularly known as ‘Hiphop Tamizha’ (HHT) recently released their new single Oorukaaran.

In Tamil, Oorukaaran means "A Small Town Boy." The story behind the song is based on HHT's main man, Adhi, who is from Coimbatore, which was a rural place 25 years ago. The track talks about Adhi's love for music and Hiphop, which inspired him to leave his hometown and move to the city. The song highlights the struggles that he and Era, who is featured on this song, have had in their journeys as artists. In spite of struggles, the song emphasizes the importance of never giving up and working harder to achieve your dreams and passions.

Hiphop Tamizha are the top independent Tamil music artists and have composed music for over 30 films in South Indian languages. Adhi has played the lead role in five movies, including his biopic, Meesaya Murukku, for which he was also the writer and director. Almost all of his films have been blockbusters, making him a bankable star.

The tireless work has brought Hiphop Tamizha to the point where their brilliance is recognized and that is illustrated by the song Oorukaaran.

Excited about the song launch, Adhi and Jeeva said, “We are very excited for this song as it allows us to highlight an artist’s journey by our experiences to our beloved fans and followers. I’m sure ‘Oorukaaran’ will leave an impact on many as they might be able to relate to it. Working on this song has been an amazing experience and I think what we create is because of the synergies we share together. We’re both looking forward to the response that this song will receive.”
