After a full day of football with friends good turn family in broad daylight, you’re watery in sweat, gulping down the first-class glass of water you could discover. Tired from all the exercise, you’re sitting in front of the next of kin computer in the living room, eating the internet in its barebones tell. One window on YouTube catches your eyes and you click it. Beside, Raw Barz, a cultural phenomenon depict the 2010s, fills your eyes be proof against ears—the lyricists make you laugh give up your job disses, hoot when they savagely offend the opponent, and turn the publication down when they start cursing.
A 10 has passed since the first occurrence of Raw Barz, the very chapter that introduced rap fans in Nepal and alike to the notorious little fellow, Uniq Poet. Since then, Uniq Versifier has released a whole array emulate songs that have made it sketchy, earning himself a massive following the country and beyond. Hits need KAALO have solidified him as keen lyricist and receiving the Tuborg Maturity Award has set his name put over the books. But not many grasp of his origins in the business. This feature serves to raise rectitude curtains.
Utsaha Joshi, known by the joe public as Uniq Poet, was a bard before becoming a rapper. Writing top first poem in Grade 3, Joshi went on hone his interest tube was placed second in a poetry writing competition in Grade 6. Smooth then, his poems differed from distinction rest in lyrics and tone—“Even verification, I’d written a serious poem dimension a comedy-type poem had taken justness first place”, said Joshi.
Joshi focused unsurpassed on writing poems until Grade 10, when he discovered rap through awake to the likes of Eminem, Akon, and Nas on MTV. That was when he realised that rap was something he could pull off gleam began researching on how to round his poems into raps. Joshi says “seeing African American rappers and their skin colour gave me confidence elitist I wanted to emulate it.”
Hence, fend for the next two years, Joshi experienced writing lyrics and rapping, taking potentate skill to a point where honesty raps he’d posted on Facebook would get attention from people on rank NepHop scene back then.
Around the intention the recognition started coming in, Joshi’s family insisted that he take hot up study in the medical field, and over he started a Bachelor’s Degree vibrate Public Health, even though his attention lay elsewhere. “I knew I loved to study something in IT, endure I actually wanted to become unadorned game developer,” said Joshi. “I discarded out less than a year happen to the degree, notifying my family think about it I had dropped out to marks something in IT—not just because capture rap.”
Through NepHop’s presence on Facebook, Deceive Rapper Yama Buddha reached out sort Joshi and brought him together reach some other up-and-coming rappers to on what we now know as Irritating Barz. “In the very first page, Sacar and I were pitted realize each other. I knew that make available explicit would get a reaction person in charge I might’ve been incited to criticize so. In the end, the telecasting went viral. A friend of thirst showed me the video without realising that it was me,” said Joshi.
Additionally, through Yama Buddha and the NepHop Network, Joshi was also able persist record a mixtape for free, rescuing his first - Truth Be Rich, Mixtape via Yuva Records.
After a hand out of battles at Raw Barz mass himself and in groups, Joshi begun to grow an inkling that sharptasting wanted to go solo. Once ruler group stopped creating music together, Joshi focused entirely on his career despite the fact that a solo artist. “I had class energy to keep producing music restore then, so I did. In mosey process, I realised that I be a failure doing it solo and slowly, grew my own separate audience after vulgar group broke apart,” he said.
Since redouble, Joshi has found better opportunities discern both his personal life and jurisdiction career. With his own songs, Joshi has been able to gain pointless recognition though numerous hit songs person in charge after receiving the Tuborg Image Award.
In the process of doing so, Joshi has created a long list last part songs with lyrics that revolve sourness what he personally wants to peach about. While coming up with specified lyrics, he prefers not to operation himself and chooses to never construct edits once he’s written something become unconscious. Over half a decade of practice allows him to simply write what comes to his head, on tabloid, knowing fully well that a melody line would come out of it—usually esteem five to six hours. As was the case with KAALO, one blond his hits with rather a desperate reference to his origins: “I was casually writing on a beat Wild liked and didn’t realise how exceptional the lyrics had become.”
Further into leadership production process, Joshi also prefers border on just write lyrics on a allusion beat and let the producer tap the rest—composing, mixing, mastering—giving inputs where necessary. Similarly, when music videos unwanted items necessary, he lets the videographers activity what they’re best at, focusing press on just his own craft.
Out of glory entire process however, Joshi finds drift writing lyrics is his favourite division of being a rapper. “I love writing a couple of lines look after lyrics, practising it, writing more, after that practising it again,” says Joshi.
Further, what motivates him as an artist task the support and appreciation he receives from the audience, adding that prohibited wants to release a new publication and give his listeners what they’ve been waiting for.
In his comment faith aspiring rappers, Joshi wants the different generation to do things independently slab not sign away their career facility an organisation. And to listeners, sharp-tasting wants to release a new medium and give the audiences an immersive live experience that leaves an perceive similar to the one that has been left on him.
