Emiway Bantai’s Hindi hip-hop evokes the propulsive atmosphere of cosmopolitan India. The artist blends in references close to his heart—Indian folk lends an idiosyncratic tinge. His ethos is particularly felt on “Pagal Sa Rapper”, “Machayenge” and “Khatam Hue Waande”. Emiway isn’t reliant on the hybrid element, though—he’s also a technical rapper with an exhilarating flow. And despite his energetic style, he’s equally capable of showing his melancholic side, as the sultry R&B of “Ring Ring” shows.
