Highlights

  • What is rap anyway? Who is the rapper? Why is rap music born?
  • There is 'freedom of expression in hip-hop and rap', it is more influenced by gangster rap.

Just the memory of rappers conjures up some images in our brains, songs full of 'frustrated' words, people with tattoos and baggy clothes...! But what exactly is rap music? And who is the rapper? Why are rappers and rap music born?


Nishik Shrestha, who started singing rap in the 90s, says, "Rap music is an easy way to express the feelings that are suppressed in the mind, which I understand as a mirror that shows the multi-colored society." This music has brought a lot of positive change all over the world. Rap doesn't have to contain profanity. Just wearing baggy clothes does not make you a rapper. Where is society going? Rap is a powerful means of conveying a positive message about how to stop the distortion of society.' According to the

decision, hip-hop culture is made up of four elements - 'graffiti painting, break dancing, deejaying and rapping'. Through this medium, around 1950-60, hip-hop music started from New York, America, against the oppression and oppression of the black race. His music was made a medium to express his frustrations and repressed voices. The world's first rap song is 'Rapper's Delights'. Ubela DJ Kul Hark, Grand Master Flash and other rappers played a rebellious role through hip-hop.

Born in Veerganj, the native place is Baluwatar. Due to the postings of my father who was a government employee, there were frequent migrations. That's why the decision got a lot of exposure when it came to youth. He studied at Little Angel School till UKG and studied at St. Xavier's from 1st to 4th grade and from 7th to 8th grade at Logan, Utah, USA. He returned to St. Xavier's to study 9 to 10, 11 and 12 Campion Academy and Ballers CJMC. Looking at it this way, his life seems like a mobile mercury. I am a very introverted person, I used to start mixing with my friends and move to another place. Thus my life itself began to feel unstable. I couldn't get into rhythm.'' He said that those experiences are the learning of life. I got to experience diversity. When I think about it now, it seems that those experiences became the means to learn how to live life.'

Logan is a beautiful and safe place in the state of Utah, USA. This enticing small and quaint town that looks like a village has a lot to do with the art of rap within the city. While living there, the memory of the motherland, friends and relatives bothered the decision. He made rap a medium to express those feelings that were buried in his heart. He says, 'The story was made in the process of writing down the desires, wishes, frustrations and desires within myself. While staying away from the country, I used to write patriotic words. Then I adopted rap as the art of story telling and started writing and singing raps.'

has released 5 albums, two in English and three in Nepali, and has sung more than 30 songs with his own words and music. Able to draw and sing the words of national love and patriotism, the song of the song 'The day has passed, the night has passed, now the day has come... . Nichik, who became a rapper after arriving in America, says, "There is a wonderful relationship between that Tumko of Logan in Utah and my rap. If I had a stable life in Nepal, I probably wouldn't have become a rapper. After going there, the smell of my soil, my love for Nepal and many memories connected with Nepal made me a rapper.'' The whole family started supporting.

As soon as his father's education was over, he had to return to Nepal. Here again, his life ran into instability. After returning to Nepal in 1992, he started running an English program called 'Bring the House Down' through Image FM from 1998. The radio program became very popular among the youth and became a means of bringing hip-hop and rap music to villages. The decision then brought out an English rap song with the lyrics 'Bring the House Down'. "Not by swearing through rap, but with the determination that positive messages and information can be conveyed in civilized words, they proceeded accordingly."

Enlisting his rap life, Nichir says, "Even the day that I sang has passed, the night has also passed... The song made people understand what rap is." Ma Nepali, Hami Nepali... Bol's song won the Best Song of National Feelings award in 2005. So I think, soft and positive words in rap music can also bring change.'

Even though looks, behavior, mannerisms, mannerisms are different, the decision does not know the taste of alcohol and cigarettes till this day. He seems to be a kind person who believes in spirituality. Since 2006, the decision has been conducting the 'NSK Tour for Education', through which 'edutainment' programs have been completed in more than 200 schools and colleges across the country. Every student who comes to see his cornshot must bring a copy and a pen. He used to provide the said copy and pen free of charge to the students of difficult and remote places. So far, he has distributed 1.5 million stationery across the country. Apart from that, more than 100 students are studying on scholarship under the decision initiative. He told me that during the earthquake, he built 200 houses in Bungmati along with his team with the decision to always be ready with diligence for the country in times of emergency. During the Corona period, he fed 25 to 35 people daily on the street, reached Dailekh to distribute food and gas cylinders during the recent earthquake. I understand that kindness and love are the religion of humanity. What do you take with you when you die? Whatever is possible is to be done here,' said the decision, saying that the soul will be happy when serving others, 'The soul is inside the body, not in clothes or outer cover, so you should be able to recognize the heart.'

Working for his own album 'Ek Nepal' for 2 years, Nixin is busy with music, writing lyrics, running a radio program for 26 years, and being active in Tour for Education. Stating that rap music has become more professional recently, he said, "Earlier, we used to sing instead of singing for free." Our hearts are weak, we are easily carried away by emotions. However, today's brothers and sisters do not work for nothing. "Professionalism" should have this thing. It is also necessary for sustenance. I am happy that the professionalism is increasing.''The decision to argue that when mistakes are made, they are scolded and boycotted. He believes that music is a complex genre, and rap should have the courage to touch everyone's heart. Vice President of Performance Society of Nepal, Board Member of Cancer Relief Society and Editor-in-Chief of Ratochandrasurya.com urges everyone to understand where our society has gone and what needs to be done next.

Decision seems to agree on one thing, 'Yes, when we just started rap, there was not only a little strict discipline, but we had a sense of self-censorship. The media changed after 2010 or 2011. Apart from newspapers and radio, various T.V. The influence of new media including channels, YouTube, online started increasing. As the media became free in one's own hands, its use became voluntary. However, no matter what, the person who appreciates and respects the feelings of the country, society and citizens is himself.'

At the time there was physical conflict, now people are getting trapped in mental and emotional conflict, not only blaming the leader but agreeing that 'everyone is also a part of it'. The reason for all this is political instability. I scold myself. Why do others? We have the right to choose every candidate in a democracy and a democratic country. Is it that we did not know or could not choose the right person?'

Connecting rap with politics, he said, 'Because of different understanding, rap music has also fallen into the clutches of wrong words? It seems that now is the time to reflect. Because there is a lot of freedom of expression in hip hop and rap. It is heavily influenced by gangster rap.'
