Bombay Hip-Hop

People who live in Dharavi are keeping it real. In hip hop, in real life.

Tony Sebastian, models himself on Snoop Dog and founding member of pro-marijuana hip-hip outfit Dopeadelicz.

Rap is about giving a message. Not like I got this, I got that, I got bitches...

Dog'Z, a Dharavi hip-hop group writes about corruption.

Suno, yeh hain bharat ki barbaadi
Gather around and listene, here is the story of India's destruction
kya fayda hua inhe hero ki kurbaani
what good came of the hero's sacrifice?
jahaan dekho wahaan corruption ki man maani
corruption as far as the eye can see
nahi maangta humein netaon ki meherbaani
have no need for favours from the politicians
gir pada hum garibo par tension
we the poor are faced with tension
parle G ka bhaav bad gaya, why don't you mention
parle g price has risen, why don't you mention
yahaan garibon ko khaane ka waanda
poor here struggle to eat
wahaan tum khate ho franky with kaanda
<b>out there you eat franky with onions
