MUMBAI: Rapper Raftaar says Hindi rappers are not frowned upon anymore and that the next phase of hip-hop is a lot of regionalisation.
On being asked if he feels Hindi rappers are still frowned upon in the country, Raftaar told IANS, “Not at all. The next phase of hip-hop is a lot of regionalisation. There is space for Marathi, Tamil and Punjabi hip-hop."
The rapper, whose real name is Dilin Nair, is a Malayali. He has rapped lines for songs like "All black", "Dhup chik" and "Toh dishoom".
