Watch Harm Franklin Feel Grateful on Retrospective New Song ‘Last Year’

In the last three years, Punjabi-origin Canadian hip-hop artist Harmenvir Khara aka Harm Franklin has seen a lot manifested right before his eyes. On his latest track “Last Year,” Harm takes stock of where he is in life, over a slick track produced by teenaged Toronto beatsmith Ron Israeli aka Prettyboyron. 

At one point in the song, Harm raps about talking to god and realizing “Wow you listened the whole time.” He adds about the line, “I used to pray and talk to god like, ‘Please just help me and give me the strength I need to make it out of here and get to where I belong in life. I’m a star, I shouldn’t be in a bando.’ One day I was driving and ‘Stunnin” [his 2020 hit collab with Nepali-origin artist Curtis Waters] came on the radio. I was just overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude.” 

Harm flexes on accomplishments and the road to reaching goals on “Last Year,” whose music video (filmed by Toronto’s Ugly AppleTree and produced by Adam Sousa) shows him driving around in an orange Lamborghini. He’s going to be “consistently dropping a song and video every month,” as well as working on his project HOUNDS, plus collaborations with Waters.

The hip-hop artist is fully aware that everyone “wants another ‘Stunnin” from us,” but they’re not formulaic.”We didn’t make that song by saying, ‘Hey, we need a hit that’s going to turn up the whole world’ because we feel like we can do that with every song,” he says with a laugh. Harm adds, “We were just being ourselves and having fun so I’m just continuing to have fun with it and try different stuff and grow as an artist and person because that’s what got us here. It made me start working three times as hard, because it showed me that I wasn’t crazy for believing in myself and that I’m really doing it.”
