and Qyuki have been early supporters and stakeholders in India’s hip-hop
ecosystem from its fledgling days, and with Haq Se Hindustan, both endeavor to
give the diverse hip-hop voices in India a definitive mouthpiece they can claim
as their own.
Says
Nirmika Singh, Executive Editor, Rolling Stone India, “There’s so much
more to Indian hip-hop than what we have seen so far, and with Haq Se Hindustan
we hope to present the incredible multi-cultural expressions India has to offer
across all five elements in hip-hop: from rapping, b-boying, beatboxing, DJing
and graffiti. There’s no denying India is witnessing a mini-revolution in
hip-hop — the established artists are consolidating their influence while the
emerging talent is claiming their part.” The core
idea behind #HaqSeHindustan is to bring to focus the true hip-hop
representatives from the North, South, East, West, and North-East of India.
Samir Bangara, Co-Founder & MD, Qyuki, says, “The beauty of Indian hip-hop
can be best witnessed in its linguistic and regional diversity. With Haq Se
Hindustan, which is the live leg of our newly launched property #HaqSeHipHop,
we want to bring as many voices into the spotlight as possible. The message is
clear: hip-hop belongs to everyone. Hip-hop humara hai.”
