In the heart of Mumbai, a revolution is brewing. Mass Appeal India, a beacon of the burgeoning Hip Hop scene, celebrates its fifth anniversary. This milestone is not just a marker of time; it’s a testament to the power of music and culture. Since its inception in 2019, Mass Appeal India has transformed the musical landscape, carving out a niche that resonates with millions. With over 10 billion audio and video streams, the label has become synonymous with innovation and creativity.
Mass Appeal India is the global arm of the iconic Mass Appeal brand, co-founded by the legendary Nas. This New York-based powerhouse has always been a voice for Hip Hop culture. Now, it’s channeling that energy into India, a country rich in diversity and artistic expression. The label has introduced global hits that have taken the Indian music scene by storm. Tracks like "Obsessed" by Riar Saab and Abhijay Sharma, and "With You" by AP Dhillon, have become anthems. The multi-platinum debut album "Kohinoor" by DIVINE is a cultural touchstone, paving the way for future artists.
The collaborative spirit of Mass Appeal India is palpable. It’s not just about individual artists; it’s about building a community. Partnerships with stars like Jass Manak and Raf-Saperra have expanded the label’s reach. Even the South Indian music scene is getting a taste of this Hip Hop revolution. Artists like Vedan and Dabzee are stepping into the spotlight, showcasing the genre's versatility.
