Rap King

King, also known by his stage name King Rocco, is an Indian rapper, singer, and songwriter hailing from New Delhi. Born as Arpan Kumar Chandel in 1997, he developed a passion for rap music from a young age, deciding to pursue it seriously from eighth grade. King gained significant recognition as one of the top five finalists on MTV Hustle, India's first rap reality show, where he impressed judges such as Raftaar, Raja Kumari, and Nucleya with his writing, flow, and live performance skills. His early singles like “Zinnda” and “Hitman” helped establish his presence in the Indian hip-hop scene, and his debut album, *The Carnival* (2020), explores themes of life, love, nostalgia, and social issues. King has continued to build a strong following through his steady stream of music releases and collaborations, making him one of the prominent voices in India's rap community.
