1. What is the reason behind Pindi Boys? Were you trying to raise the bar created by Ali Gul Pir and other artists or was it something you always wanted to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Pindi Boys’ is a stereotypical term given to young men, who belong to the city of Rawalpindi. Rawalpindi is closely knit with Islamabad (Capital City of Pakistan) and is the epicenter of Armed forces since the British colonial era, the General Headquarters of Pakistan Army is located here. ‘Pindi Boys’ are usually perceived as ill-mannered, rowdy, notorious and belligerent individuals. However, born and raised in Rawalpindi, I believe this scepticism regarding Pindi Boys is not true. Rawalpindi has been the home to Pakistan’s renowned politicians, sportsmen and the country’s first and most popular pop band, Vital Signs. I have broadcasted the message with my track that Pindi Boys are talented, brave, vigorous and very cool young men.<\/p>\n

\"pindi3\"Ali Gul Pir is a good friend and I wish him all the success in his artistic endeavours. He is a brilliant film-maker and artist. Ali has his own style of creative expression. When it comes down to art and creativity, I believe every artist has his\/her own thought process and angle on his work, regardless of the genre and style.<\/p>\n

2. You have a rap segment in there. What are your views on hip hop?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The part after the second chorus was void of juicy words. \u00a0Me and my producer, Mr. Asad Kamal, at Studio 051 decided to add a rap segment. We heard the works of some very talented rappers in town to find the perfect voice. Unfortunately, we were on a strict production deadline and we could not hire a rapper on such short notice. Hence, I wrote the rap segment overnight the next day with the help of my dearest Pindi friends. A huge fan of rap since primary school, I still have a collection of old-school cassettes by Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z. Hip Hop is my second choice after the Blues. In fact, I have more tracks in the pipeline that fall under hip hop.<\/p>\n
