Jayhaan releases ‘Zaiavli’ in association with Most Wanted Records
Jayhaan is all set to debut his new hip-hop EP ‘Zaiavli’ featuring MC Azad,
100RBH, Darpan, DJ Hi2, Prasad Gaitonde, and Thuk. Most Wanted Records has
always endeavoured to curate innovative hip-hop content and this time they have
collaborated with Jayhaan to release ‘Zaiavli’, an EP that blends
old-school hip hop with Indian muscial elements. Infact, Jayhaan is amongst the
first from the Parsi community to release a hip-hop EP.
The name 'Zaiavli' itself is a play on words
of a very popular Marathi slang. The tracks can
enliven any place with its hard-hitting beats and inspired lyrics in the ‘Mumbaiya’
style of hip hop. While the music is contemporary, the EP is sensational and
makes you want to get you into dance mode. The lyrics have a modern twist to
some classical roots.
Jayhaan is a
priest by day and a DJ by night. His budding career in music has already
spearheaded the entry of Jersey Club in India which was previously alien to the
Indian Music Industry. Using this momentum, he is changing the face of
electronic music by fusing the sounds of Western Jersey Club, bass music and
trap, with Indian instruments and melodies.
Along with
Jersey Club, Jayhaan performs and produces Hip-Hop and Trap, working closely
with 7Bantai’Z, Dopeadelicz, Darpan, and MC Azad. Jayhaan recently released his
first album titled ‘Jadibooty’, showcasing his love for bass music as well as
his roots in the form of Indian folk music.
Sharing about the Zaiavli, Jayhaan shares
“Zaiavli EP is my debut hip hop project & as producing hip hop is
more creativity over originality for me, I’ve sampled a bunch of popular old
school Bollywood songs into hard hitting beats. Sampling has been a big part of
what hip hop is today & I just want my people to know the difference
between plagiarism & sampling, so I hope this is a step in the right
direction. The name itself is a play on words of a very popular Marathi slang,
which is mostly used when something just catches you by surprise.”
Speaking about the release, Most Wanted
Records, Executive VP, Shantanu Pujari shares “Jayhaan is a super
talented producer who has shown us different styles of music he can create. And
he has one of the most underrated and gifted emcees like Mc Azad, Darpan and
100RBH in one EP. With sure bangers like parichay and high hay this ep is a
unique contribution to Indian hip hop”
Excited about the release, MC Azad
shares “I have really enjoyed and I feel proud of making India's first
drum and bass marathi rap with Zaiavli Cypher. I really enjoyed working with
jayhan ,100rbh & Darpan. I am also looking forward to make more Eps like
this.”
‘Zaiavli’ is being released by Most
Wanted Records, a division of Sippy Media LLP.
