Indian rapper Emiway Bantai, renowned for his distinctive style has released his latest single, ‘Badshah’. This high-energy track blends hip-hop with a nostalgic nod to Bollywood, sampling the iconic ‘Badshah Oh Badshah’ from the 1999 Shah Rukh Khan film.

Produced by Tony James, a long-time collaborator who has contributed to several of Emiway's previous tracks, including the Machayenge series, this new release maintains the signature sound that has resonated with millions of listeners.

With the teaser racking up over 1 million views on YouTube, the song started trending within just 24 hours of its release.

The rapper, Emiway Bantai, shared his personal perspective on the inspiration behind and the creative process of crafting his EP, “Since childhood, I have been a fan of the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, and when the opportunity came to create this song for the Badshah of Bollywood, I immediately went to the studio and got busy.”

“We all have grown up singing along SRK songs and some of our core childhood memories are linked with these songs. I took the opportunity to create the EP which is the best of both worlds, Bollywood and Hip Hop! I have always worked independently, always on my terms. Discussions were going on for a while with Believe for this EP, but we only went ahead once the deal was locked on my terms,” he added.

There are more iconic tracks coming up in the Bajis EP, which my fans are going to love. Big shoutout to the teams at Believe for their constant support,” concluded the artist.

On the personal front, Emiway Bantia recently tied the know with Punjabi model-actress Swaalina in a dreamy ceremony. The couple who kept their relationship hidden from the public eye shared beautiful pictures from their special day on social media and painted the town red.
