The rapper, Emiway Bantai, shared his personal perspective on the inspiration behind and the creative process of crafting his EP, “Since childhood, I have been a fan of the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, and when the opportunity came to create this song for the Badshah of Bollywood, I immediately went to the studio and got busy.”
“We all have grown up singing along SRK songs and some of our core childhood memories are linked with these songs. I took the opportunity to create the EP which is the best of both worlds, Bollywood and Hip Hop! I have always worked independently, always on my terms. Discussions were going on for a while with Believe for this EP, but we only went ahead once the deal was locked on my terms,” he added.
There are more iconic tracks coming up in the Bajis EP, which my fans are going to love. Big shoutout to the teams at Believe for their constant support,” concluded the artist.
