Raftaar – National Ambassador Of Indian Rap AKA ‘Mr. Nair’ Hopes To Break The Psychological Barrier With His Latest Album

Rapper Raftaar has come out with his sophomore album “Mr. Nair”, and says the album gives him an opportunity to narrate his life to the world.

From working with his fellow Kalamkaar associates like KR$NA, Yunan, Deep Kalsi, Harjas, Rashmeet Kaur, KARMA; Bengaluru-based rapper Brodha V and Gully Gang signee Shah Rule to old-time collaborators Manj Musik and Bunty Bains, the 16-track album showcases several facets of Raftaar’s persona whilst highlighting his passion for music.

“This album is an opportunity for me to narrate my life to the world. This is a curtain raiser of my story, my struggles, my success,” Raftaar said.

“‘Mr. Nair’ is an acronym I coined together that not only stands for my surname but also means ‘National Ambassador Of Indian Rap’. It’s an epiphany of how my life has shaped up with all the struggles and how far I’ve travelled courtesy my modest middle-class upbringing,” he added.

Looking back at his career, Raftaar said: “Since my initial years whether it was music, dance, painting, writing or whatever sort of creative outlet, I was exposed to; it has contributed to my story, because there was a hint of the hip hop culture in everything I did from the start. In all honesty, I created ‘Mr. Nair’ to break a psychological barrier that most artists create for themselves unconsciously which hampers their success story.”
