Raftaar Says Hip-Hop Has Been The Voice Of People

MUMBAI-Rapper Raftaar, known for songs such as ‘Morni’, ‘Dhakad’, ‘Ghana Kasoota’ and ‘Bandook Meri Laila’, has said hip-hop has always been the voice of people from the streets.

Raftaar has created the reality series ‘Legacy’ in association with rapper KR$NA and Kalamkaar co-founder Ankit Khanna. The series brings India’s emerging rap talent into the spotlight through a format that prioritizes lyricism, originality and mentorship over popularity.

Raftaar said, “Hip-hop has always been about giving a voice to people who have something real to say. With Legacy, we’re creating a platform where talent isn’t judged by numbers or popularity, but by skill, hunger and originality. We want people to witness the journey of becoming an artist, because that’s where the real story lies.”

The series is designed to discover and nurture India’s next generation of lyricists, performers and storytellers through high-stakes challenges, performances and mentorship, with a focus on raw talent, lyrical ability and artistic growth.

KR$NA said, “India has never lacked talent, it has lacked platforms that truly understand hip-hop. Legacy is about finding artists who respect the craft and are ready to push themselves. If this show inspires even a handful of artists to believe in their voice, we’ve achieved what we set out to do.”

Produced by SVF Entertainment, ‘Legacy’ is available to stream on the Kalamkaar Music YouTube channel. (IANS)
