For years, Wazir Patar has been the name behind some of Punjabi music’s most defining sounds and now, he’s stepping into the spotlight himself. With the launch of his debut EP and mini-documentary WZR TANK, the Punjabi hip-hop and rap producer, director, and now recording artist is unveiling his vision in full for the first time.
This is the first time Wazir has spoken out, marking a major moment in his career. Known for blending folk tradition with heavy, modern beats, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the game, including producing The Last Ride — the final song Sidhu Moosewala recorded before his passing. That track cemented Wazir’s reputation as a sonic architect of Punjab’s evolving sound. Wazir’s recent hit track is “Notorious.”
With WZR TANK, Wazir pairs music with a visual statement. The project follows the year-long restoration of a 1990 Mercedes W124 E300 Turbo Diesel — rebuilt from the ground up with parts sourced from across the globe. But the car is more than a machine; it’s a metaphor for his creative process — preserving soul and heritage while crafting something new.

“In music, I take pieces of the past — sounds from my culture, instruments from my roots — and I work them into something new without losing their soul,” Wazir says. “This car was the same. It had a soul. I just had to bring it back. Basically, we spent everything on our dreams — shonk, cars — starting a different trend in East Punjab that was never done before, at least not with this kind of precision when it comes to a car.”
The EP’s tracks mirror the journey he has had. WZR TANK is about making your own trend, self-direction, and refusing to be steered by others. AMG is about celebrating the power and presence of the machine. A Day in Merc is about capturing the feeling of driving the W124 and the reactions it inspires.
For Wazir, WZR TANK is an artistic release and proof that Punjab can lead global trends. “It’s about showing the world that our vision can match anyone’s, in music, in style, in culture.”
The WZR TANK EP is out now, with the documentary following a few days later — a one-two punch designed to introduce Wazir Patar not just as a producer, but as an artist ready to lead a movement.
