The Sound of Kannada Hip Hop

“The Sound of Kannada Hip Hop” captures a dynamic mix of voices shaping the growing Kannada rap and hip-hop scene. This playlist brings together gritty street anthems like MC Bijju’s “Guess Who’s Back” and introspective flows like J.K Jeevan’s “Blank,” offering a taste of the genre's range. From the clever lyricism in “INK (Idhu Nanna Kathe)” by Savvio and Nagaari to the bounce of “Brown Bounce” by Raathee and J.O.High, there’s a steady balance between reflections on identity, local pride, and chill beats.

Collaborations stand out throughout, like the high-energy “South Side Cypher” or the playful back-and-forth on “Bro Bro” by MC Bijju and Rahul Dito. Artists like Gubbi, Brodha V, and SIRI bring veteran moves, while newer voices like Lazy B, Yung Jeevi, and Dank Sinat₹a show how the scene is evolving. Whether it's political, personal, or party-ready, the tracks keep it authentically rooted in Kannada culture with an ear toward global hip-hop trends.
