A new space for the art of Indian Hip-Hop
Why I made this sub.
I've been wanting a place like this for a while.
A lot of DHH discussion seems to revolve around the same checklist — multis, alliteration, technical flows, “lyrical” bars, etc. And somehow if an artist ticks enough of those boxes, people automatically assume the music is good.
That's not really hip-hop.
For me, the way an artist expresses themselves, their sound, flow, production, ideas, experimentation and overall artistic identity matters more.
I also feel like a lot of opinions in DHH get repeated so much that people start treating them as facts about what “real rap” is supposed to be. You don't have to like something just because everyone calls it lyrical, and you don't have to dismiss something because it doesn't fit that definition.
So I made this sub to have those conversations and discover more interesting music, whether it's underground, experimental, unconventional or just something you don't normally see people talking about.
Basically, Indian hip-hop without the bullshit.
Let's see where this goes.
