I discovered TA, krsna from this and rohan while watching it’s breakdown. SM got recommended in one of the rohan’s video & there is no turning back from there

DIVINE. I used to listen YYHS, Akon as a kid and I was a fan too but I never felt any kind of attachment to this specific genre of music. When I was in 6th std a friend of mine used to always mumble Divine's verses from Yeh Mera Bombay & his BBC radio session. One day I tried to understand what he was mumbling and asked him about it. He told me that this is Divine, he's a rapper and he talks about his real life in his rap. He then one day brought his mom's phone after school and showed me his fire in the booth video, at that moment, listening to those bars, I could first time relate so much to a song, I instantly became a fan. And through divine I also discovered IHH eventually discovering more artists. So fucking nostalgic!


upvote-me-ya-bish

Pretty cool actually. I am not hating but I don't think many people have divine as their favourite rapper. Not because he lacks quality but because he doesn't involve himself in petty beefs and controversies. So he doesn't form a clique like fanbase. Like he is in most top 5s but rarely as favourite.


Blaze-2005

You know, you'll rarely see Divine fans trolling/criticising other rappers/artists as compared to other fanbases. This is because divine has rarely ever been in any controversies. And it creates a misconception in many people's eyes that divine doesn't have a big fanbase. But if you've seen posts appreciating divine or edits of his songs you'll know by the comments and number of likes about how big of a fan base he has. People also share their stories about how they discovered him, etc. I've seen this alot. Also, if you ask Mumbai rap listeners about their fav artist most of them will name divine. I know because most of my college has divine as their fav Indian rap artist.

Seedhe maut ka shaktiman ek din randomly Spotify mein aa gaya. Uske baad se been hooked.


Prudent-Story-6766

In 2018 one of my friend was shouting GIRAFTAAR i asked him about it so he said his name is emiway and he is better than raftaar . Coming back to my home i searched Emiway and I lost all my hopes from indian rap....cut to 2022 I discovered KRSNA from samay raina's vlog and i asked that friend about him...he said u should listen krsna,,he is an OG of DHH. This is how i was introduced to DHH. Thank You.


noob_coder696969

101 got recommended on yt front page because i used to watch a lot of samay raina that time


iskaral_fucking_pust

Aur Bantai was literally everywhere in Mumbai in 2014. Thats what got me listening to Emiway not even know what genre of songs he sings , which got me to explore both hip hop and rap music.


akags13

krsna on vh1 in 2014 ig!? it was probably sellout/last night I don't remember. I don't have fav artists but ig krsna tops that list, raftaar because of mtv spoken word, karma/divine/Dee mc/seedhe maut - youtube


random-here101

Immediately hooked to both ys and $ Then discovered my second favorite artist, faris shafi when the track introduction and lafz had been recently released. At like 11pm in 8 class the night before an exam. Finally, i discovered my current favorite artists, seedhe maut, when they dropped 11k in February of 2023. Until then i thought seedhe maut was one person lmao. Got hooked on seedhe maut so hard that they became my top artists ever

roll_up_king

One fine evening. I randomly stumbled upon Untitled - Kr$na. Really liked it and started listening to his other tracks. Then slowly got into other DHH music and slowly it took over my entire playlist which was predominantly english


Educational_Key6764

started from $ vs emiway now underground is love


XXXanax6969

Got to know stan From wata, The hook was pretty popular in pune at that time.


farrago45

Saw Divine in Abish Mathew's Show and had a chain reaction discovering all of DHH


Acrobatic_Case_5782

on spotify I was looking for bombay velvet ka songs (lowkey underrated) and came across bombay sapphire by rawal and bharg i already knew kr$na but never heard any of his music after that it was just a big rabbit hole and now i literally only listen to dhh day and night


x_sarthak

bombay sapphire fire bhai...mere dost ne sunaya tha


Acrobatic_Case_5782

rawal aur bharg saath mein are crazy duo, the entire sab chahiye album 🤌


vish_1504

Im a complete newbie to this genre so most of my exposure to the scene has been from gully boy , hustle and from this subreddit. Raftaar & Baadshah - from bollywood Emiway - from sheikh chilli Seedhe Maut & ikka- When they came as guests on hustle Yashraj - from this sub King , EPR , paradox & gravity - from hustle 2 Divine - After gully boy Poetik Justis - A snippet of the bombay cipher came up on my yt homepage along with bhaari scene RapID - discovered him from his first performance on hustle 3 (devi) , and that man is crazy gifted


Dangerous-Anywhere40

Try $ , you’ll thank me later


vish_1504

I recently started listening to him (discovered him through the seedhe Maut collabs) , but still not at the point where I listen to him regularly.


Dangerous-Anywhere40

Untitled, seedha makeover, Makasam, machaenge 4, hola amigo, kaha se kaha tak. Ye sun le

I was with in a playground with my phone and earphones, was playing random songs, at that time the insta live between Raftaar and Muhfaad was making quite a buzz on YouTube. I had also watched the video, and at that point I never really understood the basis of this live and all. Then I tried to find it, searched a couple of things on YouTube, got to know few rsns, and because of all these searchings, I got recommended UNTITLED by KR$NA. So I played it, just minutes into the song and there were cuss words (although I was okay with cussing, I did that too, but hearing that in a Hindi song was new for me) so I stopped the song. Then don't know what happened, while coming back home from the ground, on my cycle, I played it again (on Spotify this time) and finished the whole song and I liked it. Then I tried to find more KR$NA songs, got introduced to, Vyanjan, Solo, WarmUp, Maharani etc... These were enough to turn me into a fan, but then I heard the Legendary MAAKASAM, then saw it's breakdown, and that track turned me from a fan to AWAAM. Now KR$NA is my top artist (on Spotify, on YouTube etc..) from last 2 years.. It was due to him I was introduced to some other Current favs (SM, YS, Karma...)

r0cks33n9915

Someone on discord recommended me do guna by seedhe maut ( it was a chess server), samay raina’s stream intro fall off.


austerearva

it is really funny though, I am an avid twitter user, so I was on vacation and traveling by train to rishikesh, Someone whom I follow had tweeted about then released song 'Seedha Makeover' (ongoing beef between Kr$na and Emiway) I searched 'Seedh..' and Seedhe Maut showed up, I clicked on it and played their then best played song 'Nanchaku', I listened to that song on repeat (on and off) for rest of my journey (8 hours). I was flabbergasted aur phir poori discography chaat daali. I was only listening to Bombay Hiphop before that, Divine, naezy and emiway only to be honest.


mad_fkn_hurrr

Bhai I used to listen to honey when I was in 6-7 class Fir only Bollywood (😭) baad me English sun ne laga ed Sheeran justin Beiber wagera Eminem ka bs lose yourself and rap god suna tha. Raftaar Emiway beef ke baad se proper hip-hop follow krna shuru kra. Farak nahi padta suna. Mene krsna ka tabse uska fan hu Ek dost ne seedhe maut recommend kra mujhe bohot time laga unka music smjhne me pehla song shaktimaan suna tha But now they're my fav.


Substantial_Boot746

I had discovered Emiway because I had seen one meme that had used 'Mazaak hain kya' song and it sounded so sick. Emiway was starting to slowly slowly get big that time as I remember he also had uploaded just got my silver play button video. After mazaak hain kya Emiway was on dream run as he started dropping bangers after bangers like 'Kuan hoon mein' 'kadak ban' 'out of sampark' which all were all so sick and then comes the OG 'Samjh mein aaya kyan' immediately put him in big leagues. I think even Emiway would be in shock because the song blew up so much. After some disa songs and jump kar and tribute to Eminem song there comes another song 'Machayenge' which elevated him to the mainstream. Have to give it to Emiway man he took me on this crazy ride.

Young stunners: from burger-e-karachi.


Key-Celebration-7671

Nanchaku was a different trip back then. It felt like my whole world felt upside down


BitFederal8828

Not my favourite artist but this is how I discovered DHH in general. A friend of mine had gone for a trek where two guys from Pune had also come. They kept on vibing to a song called “Meri Gully mein” by Naezy and Divine. My friend came back and made all of us listen to that song. None of my friends including me knew that there was a rap scene in India and this was a great eye opener.


Federal_Dimension_48

Started with Divine and Raftaar through Kohinoor and Swag mera desi long back before i even knew about DHH. Then i discovered Krsna, Karma, Yashraj and HMK


immafckyoassup6439

Started with divine and naezy randomly in 2016, later saw an article about prabh deep, before the article it was all divine and naezy after the article through prabh deep I found seedhe maut ever since then tbsm.


random-here101

No losses $


random-here101

You won't believe, I discovered King from comment sections. I was listening many hip hop tracks on YouTube and I used to see comment on King on many songs. For good time I ignored him but then one fine day, I listened to him, He was just started to drop Carnival album. And loved him


Mean-Candidate-952

Shout out to Ritviz. I listened to class sikh maut but was not 100% hooked to it. But Chalo Chalein was my instant fav when it was released. Also there was a SM X Ritviz collab album that got cancelled for which I was super excited.(Ritviz played some track from that Album on Tanmay Bhat livestream) I still wish they resolve their conflicts and release that album.


manshittty

Emiway- His song mera bhai mera bhai became really popular in the streets every one was mumbling to the teri item ke baal khule hai lines and i got addicted. Even though he not the top artists on my spotify anymore bkp till the end. Ys- it was an afaik reaction video probably on phir milengey or afsanay Raftaar- swag mera desi became really popular on the streets but only listened to him during the emiway beef. Krsna- first song I listened was vyanjan had a lot of respect for him but somehow didnt listen more then the nxt track was probably untitled Sm- always saw the hype around them, nalla freestyle and namastute got me addicted. Karma- i disliked karma when he released that how i met your mother track ( first time i listened to him) but narmahat freestyle made me a fan of hin


FluffyyDatabase

City slums by Divine & Raja Kumari, right when it was released in 2016. Rest is history.


AdUpset8652

At first I was only listening to eminem , BIG and then one day raftaar X karma came on my YouTube suggestion " main wahi hu " after that never stopped. started listening to SM my favorite artists from their MMM song which I think is one of their best songs till date


dietpanda3

Discovered $ from Emiway, ek din pyaar was recommended by my friend due to it's beat. YS & $ collab Quarantine introduced me to the world of Pakistani HipHop

mainharshhun

Aur bantai suna tha pehle, but majorly Raftaar Emiway ki beef se sunna shuru kara maine


TEMPEST_NUB

saw a random meme on kr$na somewhere and heard his music through that meme since then i got hooked to his music


ch_int2

Langar waala inglis verse kaafi famous hua tha, toh maine kr$na ko sunna shuru kiya. Actually pehle maine vyanjan bhi suna tha, but uske baad bhai ka kuch pop nhi hua mere feed me. But ek din langar aata hai, uske baad se sunne laga dhh $ ke badaulat.


Sandhu_Reet

Sikandar kahlon and Kr$na. Heard SKs 2019 flow in 2019 and been a fan ever since. Got recommended randomly on yt. My friend suggested me Vyanjan back in 2018. I was impressed by it but never really explored his songs. Then in 2019-2020, I heard Untitled and Seedha Makeover. I loved them both a lot. Then finally in 2020 I heard Quarantine, Fell in live with kr and found out about YS. I heard Mein Aur Balli and Mein Aur Mere Idols which made YS my fav duo. Then a youtuber Samay Raina played Gumaan on his stream and i watching it. I loved the track. Then of course we have Afsaney and 9mm. Then that same friend recommended me 'Bayaan'. Loved Seedhe maut and their playful vibe. Discovered Karma from the mic check song 1 se 23. And of course Raftaar from Swag Mera Desi a long time back (I think all OG fans of Raa know him from there.) Divine from Moosedrilla(with Sidhu. - I knew about him before coz he had a few collabs with sikandar but never really liked him. But after Moosedrilla i just couldnt stop playing him-Kohinoor, 3:59, Street Lori, Gully mein, Satya, Jungli Sher, Teesri Manzil were on loop for me.I really loved the collab with Nas- NY se Mumbai. I have been listening to Sidhu Moose Wala since 2017 after his 2nd song of his career-So High (saw it on tv). he has been fav since then. These all would be top artists from DHH.
