Naezy Raps About the Govt, Talks About Ranveer, Alia & ‘Gully Boy’
Hear what Naezy The BaA has to say about the government, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Gully Boy’.
Naezy, short for ‘Naved is Crazy’, is not just making waves - but creating a tsunami in the Indian hip-hop scene. Unlike most rappers, Naezy brings in a social element into his music, trying to bring about a change in today’s complacent youth. No wonder Zoya Akhtar found inspiration in him for her upcoming directorial venture: Gully Boy.
Gully Boy is set to star Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, a pairing yet to hit the silver screen.
As the first rapper to be launched on Saavn’s new project, Artist Originals - a venture aimed at bringing underground artists to light, Naezy is surely deserving of such an opportunity. You can listen to ‘Azaad Hu Main’, exclusively here: http://saa.vn/artistoriginalsnaezy
