Spotify to Host the Third Edition of RAP 91 in Mumbai on Nov 10

The third RAP 91 in Mumbai will take place on November 10 at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, hosted by Spotify, a Swedish audio streaming and media service app. Although the majority of us grew up listening to hip-hop from around the globe, the past few years have demonstrated how Indian hip-hop has developed considerably and is currently one of the Spotify genres with the fastest growth rates. Spotify's premier Indian hip-hop playlist, RAP 91, features the newest and most popular songs from the Indian rap scene. This year's RAP 91 event, which is returning for its third edition, is expected to have its most linguistically varied lineup yet.

Raajmusic (Bhojpuri), 59 Assembly (English/Hindi), Kinari (Hindi), Krish Rao (Haryanvi), Dhanji (Gujarati), Rapper Big Deal (English/Oriya), G'Nie (English/Mizo), Cizzy (Bengali), Simiran Kaur Dhadli (Punjabi), Fotty Seven & Bali (Hindi), Paal Dabba (Tamil), Tricksingh (Punjabi), Dhanda Nyoliwala (Haryanvi), Vijay DK (Hindi/Marathi), LOKA (Hindi), Farhan Khan (Hindi/Urdu), MC Gawthi (Marathi), Baby Jean (Malayalam), and KR$NA (Hindi) are among the artists on the lineup. It's interesting to note that in only the previous two years, Rap 91, Spotify India's premier hip-hop playlist, has gained almost 110% more followers.

"Indian hip hop has experienced tremendous growth in the last few years, across languages and regions, and even breaking through on the global stage," said Dhruvank Vaidya, head of Music and Podcast at Spotify India. With our hip-hop playlist ecosystem, which includes our flagship playlist, Rap 91, as well as playlists in Punjabi, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Haryanvi, and Bhojpuri, Spotify has been dedicated to fostering this expanding culture. In 2022, we introduced Rap 91 Live, featuring some of the biggest rappers in India together with emerging artists from throughout the nation, as part of our continued efforts to promote Indian hip hop.

Hip hop artists from all around India will continue to be included on Rap 91 Live this year, showcasing the nation's varied rap music culture, which includes rap in Hindi, Tamil, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, and Malayalam, among other languages." You can purchase the show's tickets on PayTM Insider.
