Ia groundbreaking move for Indian hip-hop, Seedhe Maut, Rohan Cariappa, and Samay Raina have joined forces to create “The Sound Check Rap Show“, a new platform aimed at supporting the culture without corporate constraints. This announcement has sent ripples through the Desi Hip-Hop (DHH) community, offering a fresh alternative to mainstream platforms like MTV Hustle.
The idea for the show comes in the wake of the infamous clash between Rohan Cariappa and MTV Hustle. Rohan’s criticism of the show’s format sparked a massive controversy, resulting in over 50 copyright strikes from MTV. While Rohan faced legal pressure and had to issue a public apology, the DHH community voiced their discontent, standing firmly against the perceived suppression of freedom of speech.
Determined to turn adversity into opportunity, Rohan teamed up with comedian Samay Raina and iconic rap duo Seedhe Maut to introduce a platform that prioritizes authenticity and creative freedom. Samay Raina announced the initiative through an Instagram story, saying, “Creating a Rap Show for the community! No post-show contracts, just culture.”
Seedhe Maut, known for their raw and uncompromising style, are a central part of this project. Their involvement signals a commitment to maintaining the show’s authenticity and credibility within the DHH scene. The trio aims to provide a space where artists can showcase their talent without fear of losing control over their art.
“The Sound Check Rap Show” promises to be unlike anything seen before in Indian hip-hop. It will feature live performances, deep discussions about rap culture, and unfiltered interactions with artists. By focusing on the underground scene, the show hopes to spotlight hidden gems and elevate them to mainstream recognition without compromising their artistic integrity.
This collaboration between Seedhe Maut, Rohan Cariappa, and Samay Raina is more than just a show—it’s a movement. It challenges the corporate-driven norms of the industry and offers a platform where the community and culture take center stage. Fans are already calling it a bold step forward, one that could redefine the future of Indian rap.
As anticipation builds for the show’s launch, one thing is certain: with Seedhe Maut, Rohan, and Samay at the helm, “The Sound Check Rap Show” is set to be a landmark moment for Indian hip-hop.
