Six brothers, selected by choice and bonded by their unified passion: gritty, unadulterated hip hop are here to take over Indian hip-hop scene
National, 26th September 2024: A new-era in Indian hip-hop is set to take center stage as FEROZI, a bold six-member collective is set to dominate with the release of its debut track Farida Drip. Headed by Lambardar MC SQUARE, along with MNDP, Gurjar HB, Mark Bhatia, SkyMeriJaan, and producer ZeroToOne, the group redefines Desi hip hop, carving out a unique space that combines street culture, storytelling, and unfiltered grit. Hailing from the streets of Faridabad, Haryana, these six fierce voices, bound by brotherhood, and driven by the hunger to make Desi hip-hop scream louder than ever before, symbolize a new wave of music that blends raw storytelling with street culture.
Alongside their official announcement, FEROZI’s debut single ‘Farida Drip’ from their upcoming album FEROZI: The Arrival is a powerful introduction, packed with energy and attitude, signaling their ferocious entry into the Indian music scene. The track opens with an intense, ominous chord, quickly transitioning into thunderous beats produced by ZeroToOne. Each member brings their distinct style, delivering electrifying vocals that demand attention. Farida Drip, with its swagger, confidence, and authenticity, boldly declares the collective’s intent to disrupt and change the hip-hop game.
Speaking on the formation of FEROZI and their debut single, MC SQUARE shared, “Being a FEROZI is like being part of a family united by a single vision – brotherhood. The six of us have come together to tell our stories in the rawest form. Our first single, Farida Drip, is our way of announcing that we’re here to make waves in the Indian hip-hop scene, and we’re doing it on our own terms. With FEROZI, we’re representing Faridabad, our roots, culture, and Desi hip-hop on a global level.”
“FEROZI is the start of something big, and Farida Drip is just the beginning. We’ve all faced our own battles growing up in Faridabad, and that struggle is what fuels our music. FEROZI is a raw reflection of our lives and the world around us. With this collective, we want to show the world the strength and versatility of Desi hip-hop, and we’re here to make sure our voices are heard,” said the collective FEROZI.
Each member brings their own unique voice and experience, making FEROZI bold, raw and unapologetically authentic. Fusing their Faridabad roots with a sound that India has yet to witness, the group challenges conventional boundaries of Desi hip-hop, channeling their thoughts into a dynamic sound that is poised to resonate with fans across the globe.
