• 37:35
  Speaker 8: to the show. Who's going to give you a song
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: review on one of her favorite hip hop songs in
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: the moment? What's up? DJ G thank you Sammy?
• 37:43
  Speaker 27: Okay, So this week, I genuinely could not stop playing
• 37:46
  Speaker 27: this track like it keeps pulling you back. We are
• 37:50
  Speaker 27: talking about the title track, also known as Joki, And
• 37:55
  Speaker 27: what gets me about this one is that it takes
• 37:58
  Speaker 27: something that feels so familiar, that classical bunjambi folk energy,
• 38:03
  Speaker 27: but then it hits you with this whole cinematic hip
• 38:06
  Speaker 27: hop reimagined and you're like, wait, this is something else entirely.
• 38:12
  Speaker 27: You've got Hanuman kind coming in with that sharp raw
• 38:16
  Speaker 27: rap energy, Jasmine Soundless bringing that Punjabi fire, and just
• 38:21
  Speaker 27: with Sauch Dave's production just tying it all together. It's big,
• 38:25
  Speaker 27: and it's seamless and honestly, that's a vibe of the
• 38:28
  Speaker 27: whole song.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: It doesn't just.
• 38:30
  Speaker 27: Sound like a typical song from a movie, but it
• 38:33
  Speaker 27: sounds like a grand entrance. It's like when we're saying
• 38:37
  Speaker 27: walking into a room and everyone just stops. The rebel
• 38:40
  Speaker 27: energy is all over. It is a kind of track
• 38:44
  Speaker 27: that makes you walk a little harder, drive a little faster,
• 38:47
  Speaker 27: and dance more like you're the main character in your
• 38:50
  Speaker 27: own action sequence.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: When you hear the song again, you'll see what I mean.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: Back to you, Sammy, get read.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I'm a king, but I bother my sake.
• 39:03
  Speaker 17: They come me are bad man.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: That's a good dam.
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna say, just wing back when another man swing.
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: So I made my mama cry when they made your
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: heads round.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Got to forgive me.
• 39:11
  Speaker 20: I can't forgive them.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: You know my history, you know what I hear them,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: what I do now all hours heavy use the head.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: It's a blessing and a curse.
• 39:45
  Speaker 17: You joke up.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: On the show with me, How are you?
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: Brother?
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: We've been covering the South Asian hip hop space, the
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: evolution of it, and today's show have been really focused
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: on putting a spotlight on it. E and I wanted
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: to talk to you today about the following. How far
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: and this is the perfect person to talk to you
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: about this. How far are we right now from where
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: the American industry once was in its prime? How far
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: is the South Asian industry from that moment? What still
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: needs to happen for us as the South Asian hip
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: hop industry to catch up with what was the American
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: mainstream hip hop industry?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're light years of the way.
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: Brother, Okay, why why you say that?
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Not that I disagree, because all right, there's one song
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: that made it big and everyone knows what it is.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: You go to any hood in America, they'll be able
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: to sing the song. And if benjubbmcs Beware of the
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Boys or you know, Mondanto, but as everyone knows, and
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: it's because that song is so it has so much
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: dissy flavor in it. There's a there's a lot of
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: components right that comes to like crossing over mainstream today. Like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: first off, no Punjabi artists can can cross over barring
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: everybody else having bars, No one's gonna understand it, right,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: So a guy like Wrap Sapara, who I mean, I
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: don't listen to his music but I understand the aesthetic
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: he's going for. He's not going mainstream because he doesn't
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: have the hooks. He has the looks, but he doesn't
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: have the hooks. You know, his music is not infectious, right,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: people want feel good music. That's what pop culture is.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: That it's at the height I think graduation, right, somebody
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: can make an album that's basically graduation stadium level where
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: it's a hook that people can semi understand or just
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: so infectious that it doesn't matter what the language is.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: So in that category, we're talking super pop, right, We're
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: talking like like even K pop, right. I think one
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: of that movie that came up, k Pop Demon Hunters
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: that it's a Korean movie, Korean like whatever. I mean,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: they did dub it in English, but that number one
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: song from there's a soota pop songs, yeah, and again English.
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: So you're optimistic, I'm not interesting. So okay. So that's
• 42:39
  Speaker 8: in the context of are you saying this in the
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: context of joining the American industry or are you talking
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: about it from the perspective of the evolution or the
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: maturation of the Indian or the South Asian industry in
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: its own context? What are you talking about there.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, like across over event, like to have some
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: white girl from the middle of like Phantamonica listening to
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: this like Punjabi.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Music is light years away.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's again, it's just too much. It's just too
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: much packaging that again they see there no offense. It
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: is dumb, man, They're just so like they just don't
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: get it. Uh, And I don't think that they are
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: are showing any signs of getting it either.
• 43:26
  Speaker 13: And so again light years.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Away before you know, Jessica and in uh in which
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Malibu is listening to some Punjabbi artists, they might be
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: listening to bad Buddy.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah you know right now. No, of course not got it,
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: got it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 24: No.
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: I was just curious because you know, we we're seeing
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: that a little bit in terms of social media where
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: people are posting, but I'm still questioning whether they're actually
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: listening to it, you know, and that's the thing we
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: gotta we gotta get them there.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think again, it's just again I've been talking
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: about this, the Punjubbi music messiah, the one that's gonna
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: like just have all the perfect things going for them
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: to be the perfect crossover body.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: It's just Uh, we're just far off.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Because you know what, this is my biggest hot take.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think any of these like like Bunjubbi speaking
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: artists truly understand how to use Punjubbi in that way
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: to create the most infectious hooks. Right, Punjabi the tonal language.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: You can massage and stretch and do a lot of
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: things with the with the language, and so you should
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: be able to just make a hook that sounds like wow.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: But instead it's always very like folk drenched or like,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just it doesn't it doesn't like catch
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: you in that way. You know, there's no there's there's just.
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: It's just not there.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, I read an essay on this topic.
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well no, no, no, it sounds like, well I
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: hear that, and I hear the approach in terms of
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: your thought, and you know, A note it because I
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: think that there are so many obstacles there for the
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: South Asian artists, especially in the context of the global landscape.
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: They have to overcome so much and language and is
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: a big, big hurdle. And we're seeing that there are
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: some artists obviously out there, the aforementioned dil Jit and
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: so many others that are certainly taking a shot at
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: it for sure, and it's they're the ones that are
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: on the front lines of it in terms of them
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: introducing the sound to so many people. But is there
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: gonna be the next kid or the next kid after
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: that remains to be seen And where is that kid?
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: We don't see him right now.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, I mean like unless you go to
• 45:37

• 51:56
  Speaker 2: it in the chime pulled me back out when.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: Our budge if the morning time. And then look at
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: that Hollywood using hip hop as its main title song. Yeah,
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: we thought the day was coming back. In nineteen ninety
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: six when I started a record company called Ruckus Avenue.
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: A few years later, I was in a hip hop
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: group called Kharmacy. We weren't trying to invent a genre.
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: We were just trying to make music that sounded like us.
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: And looking back at it thirty years later, I realized
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: there were artists doing the same thing all over the diaspora,
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: quietly separately, with no name for what we were building.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: Today's show was for them. For the diaspora pioneers who
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: walked so a generation could run, for the Hippunjabi artists
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: who took regional music and turned it into a global juggernaut.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: And for the mainland Indian rappers like Divine Christiana see
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: them all emc STAN anyway, But I mean, there's so
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: many names who are making music as good as anyone
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: on the earth and still waiting for the world's permission
• 52:57
  Speaker 8: to come along these scenes, this one movement, and what
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: I want you to understand walking away from this hour
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: is that this isn't three competing histories. It's one history
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: with three chapters. The diaspora built the room, the Punjabi
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: wave filled it. The mainland scene is the next one
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: through the door. We are going to keep telling that
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: story on this show every single day until the rest
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: of the world catches up. Tomorrow, we ask the harshest
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: question of all, what's actually stopping the music from crossing
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: over to the mainstream the western radio. I do have
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: some answers, and I'll share them with you. In the meantime,
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: I'll leave you with this track. It's an old song
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: that I did with my old group called Kharmasy and
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: we started the very first of the Indian hip hop space.
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: This song is called music. Nos have a great day, everybody.
• 53:51
  Speaker 13: A lot of times I'll run to music when I'm
• 53:53
  Speaker 13: running from lights. He music. It takes my madicine and
• 53:55
  Speaker 13: makes it all right.
• 53:56
  Speaker 24: This shows me the lights, sits me down and gives
• 53:58
  Speaker 24: me advice, lets me know the people been there before,
• 54:01
  Speaker 24: and then you're all right. And I confessed to sometimes
• 54:03
  Speaker 24: I can't deal with distress and having music in my life, yo,
• 54:06
  Speaker 24: I feel blessed. Expressing most emotions ain't the easiest task,
• 54:09
  Speaker 24: and usually music knows someone that already has and music
• 54:12
  Speaker 24: knows where I'm at, and music knows how it goes
• 54:14
  Speaker 24: because music's been there for other people to spend in
• 54:16
  Speaker 24: the same foat. Music's been every religion, Music's been with
• 54:19
  Speaker 24: every girl.
• 54:20
  Speaker 13: Music's been to every.
• 54:21
  Speaker 11: Corner but the world.
• 54:22
  Speaker 24: Music's absorbed every emotion that's ever been expressed by that
• 54:25
  Speaker 24: organ on the left side of mankind ess. That's why
• 54:28
  Speaker 24: I confide in music whenever my life's a mess, because
• 54:30
  Speaker 24: music's endured every single one of life's test Sometimes I
• 54:33
  Speaker 24: even try to help define my times on my mind
• 54:36
  Speaker 24: finds the times to design some rhymes and.
• 54:38
  Speaker 13: When time permits and I make rhymes, suspend, spend.
• 54:41
  Speaker 24: My time onto the track, to lay mind tracks of
• 54:43
  Speaker 24: time because perhaps my rhymes can help others relax their
• 54:46
  Speaker 24: minds to run their tacks sometimes when they're asking why.
• 54:49
  Speaker 24: And that's why I expose my life and my flow
• 54:51
  Speaker 24: showed to be there for other details people from.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Music knows.
• 55:14
  Speaker 20: Where do I begin?
• 55:15
  Speaker 8: With you money, where do I even start?
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: You've been through everything for me. You've been my heart
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: to see.
• 55:20
  Speaker 42: Me raster the iasion strength dominate the steeple see me
• 55:23
  Speaker 42: folding guilt and shave the true weakness of my pain.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: You're the solace in my misery, the pleasure in my pain.
• 55:27
  Speaker 13: And when I want to talk you listen.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: It will never be the same.
• 55:30
  Speaker 42: You were there when she touched me.
• 55:32
  Speaker 13: You were there for that death.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Communication through you, it's the only thing.
• 55:35
  Speaker 20: That we have left.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I'll just try to understand.
• 55:37
  Speaker 42: Sometimes it just may not be what you go Well,
• 55:39
  Speaker 42: no one knows what you're went through. Well, did you
• 55:42
  Speaker 42: understand the meaning of wealth? Because your grammies look, give
• 55:44
  Speaker 42: me one and I can't forget myself. Just fanity in
• 55:47
  Speaker 42: the garden of God, for California holds me help and
• 55:50
  Speaker 42: through by the back, drawing through the oh, my my neck.
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: It helps me keep a clear vision.
• 55:54
  Speaker 13: But I'm bout it to you because you palm our relationship.
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: Now you them I'm in my life, the magic diamond
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: my life. You spark my mind and my life. You
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: walk the times in my life.
• 56:22
  Speaker 43: It's only evident that my relationship with you I have
• 56:26
  Speaker 43: many a sentiment. You're my eternal medicine, and when I reflect,
• 56:29
  Speaker 43: I integrate your love. How you spread on top of
• 56:31
  Speaker 43: my rhymes like a maternal hub, mutual and symbiotic. We're
• 56:35
  Speaker 43: back and forth on this planet, shaking souls like we're
• 56:37
  Speaker 43: plate tectonic.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Laurel and Hardy.
• 56:39
  Speaker 43: You have a sort of compatible force man to bring
• 56:41
  Speaker 43: you from silence to beauty, back to the center where
• 56:44
  Speaker 43: you first show me strength, then next came to love,
• 56:46
  Speaker 43: and you taught me how to share this gift with
• 56:48
  Speaker 43: polity of Ruk. People all around the world bobbed their
• 56:50
  Speaker 43: heads in the club, locking you in the streets because
• 56:52
  Speaker 43: they relate to both. The life is different now I
• 56:55
  Speaker 43: can be alone and still accompany my heart and soul
• 56:57
  Speaker 43: of us. I know I always have a company that's
• 57:00
  Speaker 43: right touchdown in every single human's life.
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: But I take this personal.
• 57:03
  Speaker 43: That's why I had to highlight on this verse, because
• 57:05
  Speaker 43: you were the first to give us birth back with
• 57:07
  Speaker 43: cave men used to bank, sticks against the nerve, aduce
• 57:10
  Speaker 43: and beats, the melodies like sweet to melochies, and forever
• 57:13
  Speaker 43: see the parts of you that you brought to me.
