Rap and Me..
I started Rapping at the age of 17. And it took 3 yrs to get expertise in rap. Most people think that Rap is like singing unrelated sequence of words at a very high speed.....and it is considered to be a gangsta stuff to show violence.....But what i learned is that Rap has a very direct connection with our emotions and thoughts.....And it is a weapon to expose our feelings.So I turned my intentions towards Rap music to save myself from getting killed in inferiority complex. Rap music saved me. Rap lyrics is a sequence of knowledge that one could get from his life experience, So never try to write about anything without any bit of experience. Then i noticed the backwardness of Tamil music all over the world, and i found Rap music as a renaissance movement in the History of Tamil....Tamil hip hop is so young ..as it was born before a decade only.......I am proud to say that , i belong to the 1st generation of Tamil Hiphop....with gr8 legends like Yogi B ,Dr.Burn and Emcee jesz.. And in 2008 ,I began to write my own lyrics in the idea of forming a crew and releasing an Album under the recording Label Mu-six(mu6)...
And my 1st song goes like this....
"பெண்ணின் அழகு என்றும் கானல் நீர் ,
அதை பார்த்து மயங்காதே, உன்னக்கு மிஞ்சும் கண்ணீர்....
காதலிக்கும் பெண்ணின் பாதை கல்லறைக்கு வழியே ,
பின்தொடர்ந்து சென்றால் , உன் இளமை ஆகும் பழியே ...
அவள் தரும் முத்தங்கள் , உன்னக்கு கேட்கும் சாவின் சத்தங்கள் ,
பார்! அவள் இதழ் புன்னகை , புண்ணாகும் உந்தன்கை .......
பணம் இருந்தால் பக்கம் வருவாள் , இல்லை குணம் இருக்கு என்றால் பைத்தியம் என்பாள் .....
Juliets of today are not now the same...true love is only the old days game....
If u have credit cards..your love is guaranteed...no not even a single paise??? you have no warranty....
தோழா you have no warranty..!"
This song is all about girls showing fake love.....
And I continued this journey to the next level by recording my album's intro song "Muthamil Hustlers"....
and I got a very good feed back from my friends...Then I recorded my greatest achievement
" Gethsemane" which made my friends and relatives to be my Fans.... And it is my first Christian Gospel song..
The most happiest thing to me is...My little brother
Bosco became my greatest fan...
Then i sang few more melody and Rap combinations....
Now i am working on my next project in writing a whole rap song in the Topic "Amma(mother)"...
which suddenly shattered my mind...when one of my friends gave his suggestion..
And the lyrics work is partially completed...soon it will be released..note that i am not a guy singing Rap for commercial purpose..Moreover i am doing this as my thirst for music....so it is available for free in this Blog....Pls do download it and post ur comments...
Another crazy thing is that .... I don't have a bit knowledge in Music....But i am doing this naturally.......
I believe that i am made for this..... This is my up to date journey in the path of Rap music.....

My inspirations.................
Guys who gave birth to tamil hiphop..........................1) Yogi-B (Poetic Ammo-Malaysia)
2)Dr.Burn
3)Emcee jesz
Emcee Jesz
Emcee Jesz, the label producer and lyricist is an aspiring performer of hip hop and R&B music. His sound is a fusion and as unique as the cultural mixture of tunes from around the globe. Emcee Jesz’s output draws heavily as a recording artist, lyricist, music producer and composer.
‘Kavithai Gundar’ is a unique blend of a combination of hip hop and R&B with influences from the Tamil culture. KG is anticipated to be a must-have album of the year and Emcee Jesz is heralded as the next major artist to come out of India.
Emcee Jesz
Emcee Jesz started his music journey as a rapper at the age of 18, which led to the formation of the group ‘Indiana Soul’ and soon became popular for his voice, style of rapping and his abilities of making quick beats. With the emphasis on originality and creativity, Yogi B and Dr Burn lured him into Natchatra.
The trio was the only Asian artist with the highest number of Utube downloads invited to the ‘Hip Hop Conference’ conducted by The University of Chicago. Emcee Jesz has dazzled a live group of audience in Chicago, India, Malaysia, Singapore, United States, United Kingdom and Canada with some of the top American hip hop artists.
‘Madai Thiranthu’ and ‘Indian Girls’ from the album ‘Vallavan’, were immediate and momentous blockbusters around the world. The overnight success of ‘Vallavan’ literally rocked the rap world, making Emcee Jesz one of the biggest music wonder story of 2006. After the success of ‘Vallavan’, Director Dharani highlighted the trio in the audio and video of the song ‘Happy New Year’ in ‘Kuruvi’. This song became a distinctive rapture as it relayed their identity and music to every nook and corner of Tamil Nadu. This song also welcomed them warmly into the world of Tamil television and radio. For those music fanatics out there, ‘Laadam’ is Emcee Jesz’s next endeavor so run out and get a CD today.
So what exactly is Tamil hip hop? Let’s hear it from the genius himself:
"Hip Hop is predominantly Afro-American music evolved from various other music styles like blues, jazz etc. Tamil Hip Hop was born in Malaysia in the late nineties. Yogi B, Dr Burn and I belong to the first breed of Tamil rappers. Tamil hip hop, being a very unique genre of hip hop music has its own identity and style. This uniqueness is created by the style of rapping, a mix of traditional Tamil music and instruments. I would compare Tamil hip hop to reggaeton which again is a different of genre of hip hop. Reggaeton was invented by Spanish artists and it has different kinds of beats inspired mostly by reggae and hip hop music"
What is Hiphop????

Hip hop as a cultural movement "manifest in B-boying (breakdancing), graffiti writing, DJing and eMCeeing/rapping – is an artistic commitment to seize freedom from oppressive social conditions. This artistic commitment inherent in Hip Hop culture expresses a reality of human transcendence which was originally born out of the creative impulse and cultural improvisation of the oppressed African American, Afro-Caribbean and Latino American communities of New York City(with the South Bronx as the epicenter) in the late 1970s."[1][2][3] It was DJ Afrika Bambaataa that outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing, and knowledge.[4][5][6][7] Other elements include beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. Since first emerging in the Bronx, the lifestyle of hip hop culture has spread around the world.[8]When hip hop music began to emerge, it was based around disc jockeys who created rhythmic beats by looping breaks (small portions of songs emphasizing a percussive pattern) on two turntables. This was later accompanied by "rapping" (a rhythmic style of chanting) and beatboxing, a vocal technique mainly used to imitate percussive elements of the music and various technical effects of hip hop DJs. An original form of dancing and particular styles of dress arose among followers of this new music. These elements experienced considerable refinement and development over the course of the history of the culture.
The relationship between graffiti and hip hop culture arises from the appearance of new and increasingly elaborate and pervasive forms of the practice in areas where other elements of hip hop were evolving as art forms, with a heavy overlap between those who wrote graffiti and those who practiced other elements of the culture.
