MTV’s Hustle 2: Srushti Tawde’s ‘Main Nahi Toh Kaun’ Will Leave You Wanting To Rap & Rhyme Yourself
Mumbai, Oct 22: Whether it was Badshah’s songs in mainstream Dharma that got people talking about Indian hip-hop or Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, or both. But, the evolution of desi rap music has been the new big change in Indian music as a whole. And MTV’s Hustle with aspiring rappers as contestants, has been promoting desi hip-hop in all the right ways.
Recently, Srushti Tawde, a contestant on Hustle 2.0 left the internet impressed with ‘Chill Kinda Guy’, a rap on God and religion. Now, her song, Main Nahi Toh Kaun is giving us an entirely new idea and dynamic of the rap-culture. This specific song not only sounds good, but also smart.
From the very beginning, the lyrics not only rhyme but also sound clever. For instance, the start where the rapper disses herself – “Baaki sabko dekh aur isko dekh, ek diss karwa diya na career khatam.” Srushti then goes on and starts roasting contestants, which is actually a shout-out instead, showing off that she ‘can’ but wouldn’t diss. And even if you’re not a fan of desi hip-hop or rap music, you’d want to listen to this on loop.
this girl is on fire ? ❤

The entire vibe of ‘Main Nahi Toh Kaun’ is of the kind that will lift you up on bad days – with the quite literal ‘who else?’ attitude. And quite frankly, she’s got style.
