Biography

Cult figures of the underground UK rap scene PAV4N and Sonnyjim have linked up with rising Indian producer Kartik to form Pataka Boys. Decades deep in their careers, PAV4N and Sonnyjim are artists that in their own rights have garnered devoted followings through their diligent work producing authentic, lyrically robust rap music. PAV4N is a founding member of the critically acclaimed London rap crew Foreign Beggars who since their formation in 2002 were known for exploring a diverse range of sounds and drawing in a truly international audience. Throughout his career, PAV4N has worked with a multitude of producers including Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Knife Party, DJ Vadim, Amp Fiddler and Sez On The Beat. Since the disbanding of Foreign Beggars in 2019, PAV4N is embarking on a new journey as a solo artist. Sonnyjim is a rapper whose output spans over ten years, having worked with an impressive array of artists including the likes of MF DOOM, Jay Electronica, Westside Gunn, Conway, DJ Premier, Remy Banks, Lord Apex, The Purist, Madlib and more. Known for his unique style of luxury lifestyle rap, Sonnyjim’s stream of consciousness verses are packed in equal measures with larger-than-life images of excess and hilarious sequential vignettes. Kartik is a young, upcoming producer from India who fuses classic elements of Hip-Hop with sounds that represent his heritage and contemporary life in his homeland, with the likes of Madlib and Flying Lotus being cited as main influences.
