The most in-depth look yet at the burgeoning Indian underground hip hop<\/em> scene.\u00a0Hip Hop Homeland<\/strong> is a series of raw, gritty profiles about a fast emerging youth\u00a0trend which cuts across gender, class and geography, and makes powerful\u00a0statements of youth identity and voice. The first eleven videos cover the growth of\u00a0the movement in Mumbai, spanning the entire scope of hip hop subculture – from rap\u00a0to other forms of self-expression like dance and visual art.\u00a0This new trend is coming through the slums and the chawls, and the rappers\u00a0covered in the series speak in a street `bhasha’ that draws on local languages in a\u00a0quest for authenticity.<\/p>\n

The songs they sing are not about the Yo Yo flavoured\u00a0escapist fantasy of clubs, cars and women, but about the real issues these artists\u00a0face in their \u2018hood\u2019.\u00a0Within a broader cultural context, these are songs and experiences that India\u2019s\u00a0Bollywood culture has ignored, focussing instead on escapist fantasy.\u00a0Brash and unafraid, this is the sound of a brave new India talking about what matters\u00a0in real life. These are voices worth listening to and their words are being amplified\u00a0across the internet to a broader audience.\u00a0Hip Hop Homeland begins in Mumbai but travels on to Kashmir, Shillong, Punjab,\u00a0Calcutta and ends in South India.<\/p>\n
