Pindi Aye 2.0

Hip-hop supergroup Pindi Boys have done a new version of their previous Pindi Anthem. A feature on this song appears in the Print today:

The opening shot shows a Fury-esqe Rasheed in a blue jacket smoking a cigar as the Pindi Boyz assemble in front of him. He hands them a dossier stamped with the words ‘2.0 Unite the Pindi Boyz’. Rasheed doesn’t feature again in the video until a ‘post credits’ scene where he’s labelled the King of Pindi. But the brief appearance sets the tone. 

Having Rasheed be a part of their project was a “no brainer”. “When you think of Pindi, you think of Sheikh Rasheed. He is the OG Pindi Boy. It’s only right we dub him the king of the city,” said Zeeru.

In this feature, a quote from our latest Hamnawa podcast episode with TPR:

Zeerak Ahmed, who writes a newsletter on Pakistani pop music, in a podcast said that he enjoyed these little anthems that pop up because they highlight the individuality of every city.  

“These things are important because if you look at these songs 15 years down the line…you will be able to understand that reference has some relation to some geographical place and time.”
