Raga expresses, “To me, ‘Midtown Madness’ is an EP that depicts the crazy street life that I have seen around me. A memoir of what many around me see as entertainment and reclaiming power in their lives. I am not glorifying the lifestyle, but hoping that people use my music to channel their rage instead of truly exercising this lifestyle. I am sure people from across the world will resonate with it because there is a version of this life around them. I am really happy to see the initial reactions of the listeners and I can’t wait for them to watch the music video which will be out soon!”
The lead single “Kheench Maari” has already taken the Indian rap scene by storm, amassing millions of streams and earning critical acclaim. Produced by underground Indian Hip-Hop producer Nitin Randhawa, “Kheench Maari” features Raga alongside DG Immortals in a display of unmatched chemistry and raw talent. The track’s provocative lyrics and infectious beats have solidified its place as a modern rap anthem, further propelling Raga into the spotlight as one of India’s most promising talents.
