Tell us about your recent track ‘Every Baller’s Story’. What theme does it follow?
It is a story which every sports person feels our parents are trying to secure our future with a suitable job they always want the best for their children but some people are meant for other fields, especially when it comes to football and basketball it is a way of life and there is always special references or personal choices for the teams which are established a lot of back door activities which one has to face to breakthrough all the taunts and realities which requires earnings to keep up through your passion.
What is your beat selection process? How do you find the correct sounds for your music?
To be honest as a debut I wanted to speak about the track so much that I did not pay much attention to the beat but of course, something which punches.
What is your creative process? How do you write your lyrics?
To say something that has not been said before and keep up with the rhyme schemes because lyrics matter a lot, to a level where people get attached that oh yeah I felt it when he said this.
Tell us about your approach with the unique and rather grungy flow in this debut track
It was all hunger to be honest because I did this track in 2017 but it didn’t sound as good plus I was lacking and learning at the same time but it had to be said.
Can you tell us about the cover art for ‘Every Baller’s Story’? What does it convey?
If you look at the radio it has OWR written in it which comes to the next step operation white revolution, which will be our city album for the people of Anand.
What are your influences? What made you get into rap yourself?
Eminem followed by Lil Wayne and Jay Z. When we pay attention to rap battles it is like a sport itself plus the creativity followed is impeccable that looks like a game that I want to get into.
Tell us about your plans. What’s in store this year?
For sure the city is going to enjoy the upcoming bangers! We have named it ARUL – ANAND RAP UNION LIMITED
The utmost respect to the OG ROBBY THE ROB who started the culture in our city and my homie Sangwan who has been carrying this ship for a long time, not to reveal much about the mixtape but as the first generation of hip-hop we finally have our voice as the milk captain of India.
