The Punjabi Rapper
After immigrating to the
West over ten years ago, Ra
(short for Raja) came to
realize that the South Asian
experience in America wasn't
all nice cars and palm
trees. On the contrary, he
found himself living amongst
murderers and drug dealers.
Through his experiences,
come raw, hard-edged raps
depicting not just
California street life, but
a life many South Asians
lead in America. His lyrics
are in Punjabi, while many
of the hooks are in English.
Placed over hip-hop beats,
Bohemia The Punjabi Rapper
makes it seem as though
Punjabi was made to be
rapped rather than merely
spoken.
Raja looks up to artists
such as Jagjeet Singh and
the late Nusrat Fateh Ali
Khan. His music has created
a big impact on the streets
of America and he has a
large underground following
and is widely recognized as
the pioneer of Desi Hip Hop.
The Ouftit Entertainment
proudly presents The Punjabi
Rapper’s new album ‘Pesa
Nasha Pyar’. A truly
remarkable gift of rapping
in Punjabi makes him a very
unique individual who will
make his mark in the global
hip hop scene. ‘Pesa Nasha
Pyar’ is a rollercoaster
ride of brilliantly arranged
tracks ranging from dark
street themes, to upbeat
party songs.
