The fifth episode of #HaqSeBolo podcast features New Delhi rapper Prabh Deep in conversation with Rolling Stone India Executive Editor Nirmika Singh. The 25-year-old breakout underground rapper first took the Indian hip-hop scene by storm with his debut LP ‘Class-Sikh’ (2017, produced by Sez On The Beat), becoming the voice of New Delhi’s youth. Through verses that reflected the struggles of his neighborhood Tilak Nagar, Prabh Deep spoke about drug addiction, unemployment, mental health, and more, landing him on Rolling Stone India’s 2017 (Hip-Hop Artist) Hot List. With his latest EP ‘King’ (2019), the rapper slipped into the role of a producer too, bringing smooth pop hooks and jazz elements, blending them with deep bass and synth. Taking on ambition, love, politics, and more with his lyrics, it’s safe to say that Prabh Deep’s voice is nowhere to stay.
