Show by Saransh Kharbanda
ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ (namaskara), In this very special, and my first Kannada episode, we sit down for a candid dinner and conversation with Kannada rapper Rahul Dit-O and his manager, Harish.Known for pushing the boundaries of regional hip-hop, the duo opens up like never before, they share stories from Rahul’s roots as a street dancer inspired by a Brazilian B-Boy to the grueling days of balancing a 7-year corporate tech job at Infosys while writing underground bars. They also talk about the raw reality behind selling over 25,000 physical CDs back in 2016 without making a single rupee in profit.We dive ಆಳವಾದ (deep) into the evolution of Kannada hip-hop, the delicate balance between independent music and mainstream cinema, how true artist-manager chemistry is built on pure trust rather than money, and the making of their highly anticipated first-ever studio album.Whether you've been blasting his life-changing track 'Rocky Bhai' since day one or you're curious about the massive wave reshaping the independent music scene in Karnataka, this conversation offers a rare, unfiltered look at the humans driving the culture. Keep an eye out for his landmark first studio album dropping later this year!And also, ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು subscribe off da!
