BAGI MUNDA is Indian rap’s definitive anti-hero. Between crafting his own cinematic world, featuring on tracks with Dhanji, Arpit Bala, and JASKARAN and producing a catalogue that boasts of generational talent, this enigmatic artist is proving that he's untouchable in the scene. A Nayangaon native who spits like he should be rapping in the Louvre, Bagi has already established a legacy in Indian hip-hop. He switches effortlessly between Punjabi, Hindi, and English on tracks that range from synth-addled heavy-hitters to sentimental, melodic rock cuts. Bagi manages to outdo himself with every release: DUSVIPASS : THE PREQUEL showcased the gritty sensitivity of a street poet, BETAJ BADSHAH sees him flexing as the kingpin of desi rap, and in PLAYER NO. 1 , he reigns over the culture like ghetto royalty. He embraces being hip-hop's rags to riches archetype: in his struggle he still luxuriates in his irresistible charm, his vulnerability marked by an extravagant glamour. A deep cinematic influence runs through his multi-media output, making him a storyteller who is at once an everyman artist and in his own league. Combined with his abrasive penmanship and audacious flow, Bagi's creative output truly makes him bigger than the scene. If versatility is Bagi's muse, then reckless ambition is his mistress. Whatever world he inhabits, he knows he's the main character. You cannot curb his immortal swagger. BAGI MUNDA is here to stay, and his sonic empire shall never fall.
