Javed Akhtar writes the lyrics, Rishi Rich on the music and Ranveer on the mic makes for a powerful combination of words and gansta stylings. The next 2 songs are called Doori and Doori Poem. However, there is a heavy sense of auto-tune as if a listener gets lost in the lyrics, the music is no help in bringing them back out. The preview visuals available for this song are quite simply electric with all the stops pulled out on the moves. Lyrics and music by Divine and Neazy, Ranveer joins them on the mic for a 3-minute blast of drums, synth and some fast rap. Meri Gully Mein brings together all the stars and is certainly one of the showcase pieces of this album. The words are more predominantly Urdu, and this isn’t as fast as some of the ones below, so it makes for an easy entrance for those new to this world. Beat boxing and Ranveer Singh on the mic, telling it how it is. At only 100 seconds, its over before its begun but is a short and sharp hard intro into what is to come. Spitfire writes the words and music for the first song Asli Hip Hop. There are 18 songs on this album but its still only a little longer then a standard 6-song feature, so strap in for some hard beats and fast lyrics which won’t stop till the end. To round the album with the necessary non-rap songs Karsh Kale, Ankur Tewari and Jasleen Royal also make major contributions. Its music would not be complete or correct without inputs from Divine and Naezy themselves but also from a multitude of the stars of this form with Spitfire, Rishi Rich and Dub Sharma just to name a few also getting in on the act. Directed by Zoya Akhtar and led by Ranveer Singh, this story tells not only of Naezy’s rise to the heights of this young movement but also compatriot Divine in a musical album subtitled “Apna Time Aayega”. Only 2 years on and this same theme is now a major Bollywood film Gully Boy. It looked very closely at “Indianizing Hip-hop” specifically through the eyes of one rapper Navid Shaikh or Naezy. In October 2016, Al Jazeera did a stunning piece on the hottest new scene in Mumbai town: underground rap.
