What’s it been like for you guys over the years coming up in the hip-hop scene in India?

The new generation have a lot of help and opportunities now. There are better music platforms, better technology, better audience and more live shows.

It was fun to reunite with Rolling Stone India and all my other co-rapper friends. Loved all the support from our fans and it was a fulfilling day.
