After churning out over 100,000 streams on his debut album, ‘Allah Rakha,’ songwriter Gunda fetches into the fold ‘Swagat Lo, Woh Aagaya),’ featuring hip-hop artist Rebel 7. Pulsed by Hindi and Urdu lyrics, the two blend in their Bollywood influences to develop a symphonic hip-hop track, twisting in-house themes and lightening fast rap bars.
Gunda and Rebel 7 – ‘Swagat (Lo, Woh Aagaya)’
Commencing with flashes of a shehnai sample (pipe instrument), a pulsating keyboard note underscores the composition, deliciously layered with a pacifying chorus and frantic rap verses. Rebel 7’s freestyle rapping style and Gunda’s expressive Urdu vocals work well together to create a strong Indian underground/hip-hop track. Lyrically, Rebel 7 touches on topics of depression and self-doubt, giving the music a strong, emotional undertone.
‘Swagat (Lo, Woh Aagaya)’ is released with a monochrome music video filmed by art director Kartik Sharma, displaying various shots of Delhi’s Dilli-6 area.
