Indian Hip-hop also known as Desi Hip-hop/DHH is popular among youth these days. After the mega success of MTV Hustle series, Hip-hop artists are getting the fame and recognition they deserve. DHH currently have tons of artists with unlimited loads of talent.

Among the mainstream, one such popular name is KR$NA. Krishna Kaul going with stage name KR$NA is known for his top-notch lyrical skills unmatched with anyone from the whole DHH scene. His fan even compare him with Eminem.

Many artists such as King, Badshah, Raftaar, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Talha Anjum, Talhah Yunus, Rap Demon, Shubh, Divine, Ikka have been impressed by his mad lyrical bounces and is called ‘Lyrical God’. KR$NA calls his fans “awaam” or “fam”.

KR$NA witnessed the rise of audience in DHH. His song ‘Kaisa Mera Desh’ went viral on YouTube. However, not everything went well with him. He saw his downfall and his album Sellout was flopped even after being signed with a record label.

Nevertheless, he never left hope, he made a comeback with Vyanjan —the first alphabetic rap in India. His album ‘Still Here’ was a big-hit where he had mainstream collaborations such as Badshah, Raftaar and Ikka. Karan Aujla, popular Punjabi-rapper also featured him in his track “YKWIM”.

He also has a fight or beef, as popularly known in hip-hop slang with another well-known hip-hop artist Emiway Bantai. Both released diss tracks targeting each other, which eventually KR$NA won.

Not just lyrics, he is also known for his versatility. KR$NA for instance, has his discography with Drill, Trap, R&B, Melody, Emotional rap songs. His career is currently at its peak. He also recently collaborated with Young Stunners in his latest released EP “Time Will Tell”.

KR$NA attaches importance to perseverance for his massive success. Also, the rise of audience as listeners in DHH has benefitted artists through live shows and concerts, an artist’s main source of earning. KR$NA has won millions of hearts and is here to stay and so is Hip-hop.

Indian audience is now mature enough to understand why lyrics are key pillar of a track and how their favourite artists manages to shock them everytime, he released his new song. In short, Indian Hip-hop has just started blowing-up and will rise to worldwide charts sooner than we expect.
