He had already heard our songs and he had a rough idea about hip-hop. Naezy found it quite easy and comfortable to work with Ranveer, who has been going all out at events to showcase his rapper avatar. "He spent a lot of time with us in the studio, taking in how we write, rap, our body language, our attitude. He is so positive and so eager to soak in everything. Sharing their experience working with Ranveer and how the Padmaavat star adapted to the rapper mode so well, Divine said, "Ranveer is a fireball of energy. These two rappers have worked extensively with the cast and crew of "Gully Boy" to make the film's story authentic.
This feat got him noticed in India's rap culture. He didn't have advanced music instruments, but he shot a video Aafat on an iPad, and it went on to garner more than 470,000 views on YouTube, putting him in the spotlight. Naezy's obsession with rap began when he was just 13. He believes Gully Boy will open more doors for Indian street rappers and will bring a change in the Indian music industry.
I hope that through the film, our audience gets expanded and the whole of India gets to see the real hard work of the underground rappers." Speaking about the same Naezy said, "We have a limited audience (for hip-hop). Like Divine, Naezy, whose real name is Naved Sheikh, has kept hope alive. He hopes everyone sees it, loves it and looks at hip-hop in India with pride. The movie will make people more open to the idea of hip-hop, and definitely make them more aware," Divine told IANS. "Hip-hop is the voice of the streets and Gully Boy will take it to every corner of the country. But it was lack of understanding of hip-hop music among Indians which made him stay away from the mainstream music industry. In fact, his song Jungli Sher became so viral on social media that people started calling him 'sher' of rappers.ĭivine's single Farak in February 2017 too topped the Indipop charts on iTunes India. He even made history as the first Indian rapper to rap freestyle in Hindi for a radio show. He has grown up rapping in the chawls of Mumbai.Īfter years of struggle, he rose to fame with the song Mere Gully Mein with Naezy.
Rapper Divine, whose real name is Vivian Fernandes, began his career as an underground rapper in 2011. They hope the movie takes the voice of hip-hop across the country.
