MTV HUSTLE 4 EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Will Raftaar sing a Malayalam rap? Rapper says 'Uss chiz ko utna attempt nahi karta kyuki...'
While exclusively talking to Pinkvilla, Rapper Raftaar, who was born in Kerala and is a Malayali, was asked whether he has a wish to sing a Malayali song.
MTV HUSTLE 4 is back with a bang and several aspiring rappers have now got a platform to showcase their talent. The fourth season is judged by talented rappers Raftaar and Ikka Singh. As the show kickstarted, Pinkvilla recently got into an exclusive conversation with the two most loved rappers in the country.
Many might not know but Raftaar is a Malayali, born in Trivandrum, Kerala. However, over the years, Raftaar has not sung a Malayali rap. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Raftaar was asked whether he would ever sing a Malayalam rap. Replying to this, the rapper said, "I would love to."
He continued, "Kacha pakka toh mai kar hi sakta hu. Par mai uss chiz ko utna attempt nahi karta kyuki mai poetic nahi hu Malayalam. Jaise Hindi mei muje ek hi chiz ke 10 naam pata hai. Par Malayalam mei muje bohot basic aate hai. Mera art form, I'm known to be very metaphoric. I love making metaphors. (I can do a bit. But I don't attempt rapping in Malayali that much because I'm not poetic in Malayalam. Like in Hindi, I know 10 names for one thing. But I know basic Malayalam)."
