Yo! Birthday Boy Baba Sehgal Raps For The Quint And We Love It

So how does Baba Sehgal come up with his epic raps? Well, the birthday boy says he mixes a little bit of ‘tiki tiki tai’ with a whole lot of ‘paka chiki pai’ and there, you have a rap! The desi rapper gave The Quint’s Abira Dhar a crash course in rapping like a boss and we love his gyan.

Baba has been rapping desi style for about two decades and the ease with which he cooks up a rap makes us wonder if his conversations rhyme too.

Here’s wishing the rap king of India a very happy birthday!
