❗️1 MILLION ❗️. In a time and age when most Punjabi songs get 10 million views in 3.5 seconds of their video releasing (lol). Being an independent artist with no backing/support besides the audience . These are respectable figures for me. My quickest Million. Only in 40 days

shame on the asian people that are supporting the whole “it’s not that deep” narrative. This is real. Look at the language.
News article about my father who was killed by racists. He was 26, i was only 2 years old and my bro was 4. We had to grow up without him and it changed our whole lives. Look at the language used. and shits still the fuckin same

waking up on Sunday to see @shahidkapoor DROPPING MOVES to my song “Lalkaareh (Let Tha Boyz Be Boyz)” . In an industry running after trends and a more western orientated sound, @official_gfunk and I gave you this early 2000’s UK Bhangra joint. Pave your own Lane. It’s fruitful.

The talk explored my reconstruction of Punjabi Folklore in particular Modern Mirza & Ranjha and to what extent the postmodern style was characterised by pastiche, intertextuality and nostalgia. Thanks for inviting us down @jvalaaa.
Very fortunate to have @RafSaperra & @Bobby_Kang_ join both Intro & Intermediate Punjabi classes at Berkeley today. They spoke about their engagement with folk Punjabi songs & storytelling - flavours which take form in their music & filmography, videos coming soon!

Racism towards South Asians is SO normal that not only did the production team give the go-ahead to air @KSI Saying “Paki” . but people are actually asking asians “what’s the big deal?” “It’s not that deep” . everyone shamelessly laughing in this video can suk dere muddaz 🖕🏽.
