Hailing from the city of Amravati in Maharashtra, RAPHOPpER are a young, dynamic hip-hop collective who know exactly how to pack a punch.
Comprising rappers Anuraag Khairkar aka Khaer, Saurabh Abhyankar aka 100RBH and Darpan Nandeshwar aka Jamdaar, RAPHOPpER spit verse in both Hindi and Marathi, often pairing lightning fast verses over fusion-infused old school hip-hop beats. The crew gained attention after 100RBH’s verse on “India 91,” a track from the 2019 Bollywood film Gully Boy, granted him viral attention–the 21-year-old rapper spits absolute fire in Marathi, rapping about hard work and achieving his dreams, throwing shoutouts to Marahashtra’s burgeoning hip-hop scene while he’s at it.
