His 2015 summer smash Meri Gully Meinand 2016 hit, Jungli Sher were a huge success.

Bombay Bassment is an urban outfit made solid by 2 Goans, 1 South Indian & 1 African. This eclectic mix of artists has led to a sound that defines the grass roots of each, the outcome of which is an upbeat blend of Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggae, Funk & Drum ‘n Bass.

New Delhi front runners Prabh Deep and recently released their song G Maane which is the second drop from their upcoming album ‘Classsikh’ which was a true banger. Prabh Deep started his journey as a Hindi- Punjabi an emcee and later becoming into a Lyricist and a Delivery. His song is focused on his struggle and his ill-feelings towards the mainstream and how it’s political issues does not allow true talent to thrive. He goes in hard and in a wicked word-play calls out the, ‘Censor Board’. The vocals go through several transitions from organically stacked to an electronic Kendrick-like vibe and keep the listener hooked to the tune. Sez has been involved in the studio with Prabh Deep for more than 1.5 years and has supported Prabh as a perfectionist.

DJ Kani-I is one of the best Hip- Hop DJs in India in the past decade.

Apart from having opened for International artists like Grammy award-winning Chamillionare (VH1 Hip-hop Hustle) Wyclef Jean, Kardinal Offishal, Apache Indian, Jay Sean, Raghav and many more, KAN-i has evolved a unique style of his own, that blends Hip Hop, R&B Dance, House and Electro House- an Urban Contemporary Style into one wicked package for his audience.
