May 12, 2026 — "Ground Zero: Kanwar Gill"
The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app
Episode 530
ON TODAY'S SHOW
Sammy Chand's Tuesday show centers on a long-form conversation with Kanwar Gill. Sammy makes the case that the canonical history of Punjabi hip-hop is wrong — it skips a step, and that step lives in California, and his name is Kanwar Gill. The hour is a full Kanwar retrospective: his solo cut Aaj Kal Dhe Mundhey (which Sammy produced), his collaboration with Jazzy B on Rambo, his work with Fateh Doe on From The Bay, and a deep cut closer with Bunita Sawhney on Aashiqui. Sammy interviews Kanwar about how it all started — when he first heard hip-hop and decided to rap in Punjabi, what the recording infrastructure looked like in early-90s California, what audience he was making the music for, and what he thought when Bohemia broke out a decade later. Around the conversation, the hour also brings Mani Longia and Fateh Doe on Hot Boys, Sidhu Moosewala and The Kidd on Eyes On Me, Azaad 4 Life's Roses and Blood, Otaal's Saun Di Jhadi, Shubh's Baller, Jassi Gosal and Jagan Randhawa on Safeway, YoYo Honey Singh's Phurr, Karmacy's Blood Brothers (Sammy's own group, with Sammy on the track), and Divine's Jungli Sher with Sez On The Beat. Plus Neesh stops by from The Garage Mahal with a preview of his show, Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight.

for the song called Roses and Blood and today's episode.
As you guys know squarely about the Punjabi hip hop
space and just generally the overall Indian hip hop space.
And what we'll talk about today is the guy that
started the Punjabi space.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
His name is Kunwar.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Gil will be interviewing him very shortly and you may
remember him from songs with artists like JAZZYB, Tiger Style
and even yours truly. So we'll get into some of
that today. Now let's bring in Doctor Roy to the show.
How are you Doctor Roy?
Speaker 13 (10:48):
Hey guys, this is Doctor Roy with Today's Word on
the Avenue. In Film and TV News, Dasha Patani is
set to make a major international leap with her Hollywood
debut in the Porla Force. The project mark another growing
crossover moment for the Indian talent making its presence felt
on the global entertainment stage. In media news, Ishambani made
(11:08):
a striking pre Megala appearance in New York City at
Madame Tussaud's, wearing a custom Manish Blotra and Sudieshkawan styled
by Anita Shafadajania. The look featured twenty six embroidered panels
representing diverse Indian textile traditions, blending coutour with cultural storytelling
on a global stage. In event News, Behind the Glamor
(11:29):
of luxury fashion houses like Door, Valentino and Versace lies
the intricate craftsmanship of Indian artisans nurtured by Vinode Magen
Lalshah through Janika International. By preserving centuries old embroidery traditions
and training thousands of women artisans, that Adelier has transformed
Indian handicraft into a global force. And hope coteur. That's
(11:50):
it for today's word on the avenue until next time.
Speaker 6 (11:53):

one over to one of the young artists in our

It was just one verse that he had literally is
a novelty and he says, hey, Sammy, I had this
one verse. And I remember saying to him, go back

We are so well I'm gonna say it plainly, We're
so honored to have you on for what you've meant
to our space and and just in not only Banjabi
hip hop, but just our story of telling the diaspora
story out here of North American music and so canoir.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It's not how to have you on, my man.
Speaker 16 (29:06):
My guy, thank you, my guy, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Brother, So, I, of course I know a lot about
your story. I've I've I've had the fine honor of
being a fan from a from a very long time.
And you know, I of course people know you as
you started off by by the great work you've done
with people like Jazzy B and with Tiger Style and
so many other artists like that at the time, right
(29:35):
and and you know that that impact still to this
day lives pretty loud. And anytime I mentioned your name,
people right away refer to that work that you did. Uh,
Connie man, you you've been in this space for such
a long time, you know, and for people to remember
that impact in those verses that you put out from
(29:55):
from a while back, brother, you know, tell me how
does that feel?
Speaker 16 (30:03):
Overall? It's a great feeling.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
But as an artist, I'm still looking for closure from
certain aspects.
Speaker 16 (30:11):
In any artist's career, he wants or she wants to
be recognized for what they were. You know, what they're.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Offering is, and my my story does have some long
givity to it, longevity. And then at the same time,
as an artist, I gotta be real, I am a
late bloomer kind of guy.
Speaker 16 (30:33):
I've lived.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
You know. One thing about myself as a fella that
makes music is I've actually had some downtime, some great
times sometimes when I had to kind of disappear, disappear
from the scene for a minute. Yeah, well I I yes,
I've been in it. But now it's my time to
(30:54):
kind of give it a good consistent effort so that
people can have fun and enjoy what I got to
bring to the table as far as this music stuff
and culture, maybe even a little bit of fashion too.
Speaker 16 (31:09):
Even though a lot of these guys beat me to.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
The punt, I still have my own offering, and I
just appreciate people lending in here and being excited about
me kind of showing myself again and letting people.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Hear what I got.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
I'm very, very grateful for people's support. You and Anjo,
you know, all my friends down there in southern California.
Speaker 16 (31:34):
Up here in the Bay people have been down with
me and Rock and with a movement for a long
long time.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
And you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be mentioning all
these people later. But yes, you know, Jazzy, he done
so much to my life. I thank him every.
Speaker 16 (31:51):
Time I see him.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
It's not every day a big artist like that will
give you, give you a chance. And he did Tigers
Yourself from me, Low Heat from Neil, all of them guys,
you know, all the d days down that way, and
I built some great relationship and they're all you know,
they're all supporting, and I really I'm really excited, to
(32:17):
be honest with you. I got a little bit of
jitters and there's some nervousness there, but that you know,
that's natural.
Speaker 16 (32:24):
I've kind of been in and out of this stuff.
But I promise you guys, this year, I'm gonna give
y'all straight heat. Rock.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Well, you're off to a flying start, my man. This
brand new single that you've just dropped with of course
you know people don't know this, but another Bay native
and then you have the two of you guys getting
together and the song is called from the Bay. You
just dropped it here April twentieth. It's a great collaboration
amongst I would say two of the best in our space.
(32:55):
How is it working with He's a great dude, by
the way, shout out to fate or are homie right there?
Speaker 16 (33:00):
Well, that's that's kind of why I worked with him. Man,
he's a great dude.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
You said it.
Speaker 16 (33:07):
The Ombreak is a one, a gentleman and a scholar, and.
Speaker 9 (33:12):
He deserves to be in the space, and he's a
fellow that day in and day out, considers this artistry
stuff a full time job.
Speaker 16 (33:22):
The song was not pressured or rushed or forced.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
This stuff a lot of the music, I mean, naturally
it represents our lives.
Speaker 16 (33:32):
Me and Butte Cross had to be real with you.
I was walking down the street. He's seen me. He
waved me down a.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Year prior to do the song. He said we should
do something, and I said we should do something. We
took a picture and that was that.
Speaker 16 (33:46):
A year later, I had a song that.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
You know, we're just working on, and I'm like, you know,
I could use some accompaniment.
Speaker 16 (33:55):
As instantly it's.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
His name popped up and so I I just went
with a gut feeling and the rest was history. He
delivered an awesome sixteen bars. You might actually even hear
me and him more in the future.
Speaker 16 (34:12):
We really get along.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You know.
Speaker 16 (34:13):
There's a gentleman between me and him. You know, there's
a there's some guys called bold friend Job. They his manager, Nicky.
You know it's I love to.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
Give people back backstage passes to the music and what's happening,
because a lot of the stuff that I purpose you know,
not purposefully. You know, God has control over everything that's happening,
but for some odd reason. And then the stuff that
I'm involved in making, it's a team effort.
Speaker 16 (34:41):
I've never done anything alone.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
In fact, these last ten fifteen years, twenty years, almost
about seven, I's been working with a gentleman we call
up here in the Bay Area.
Speaker 16 (34:52):
His name is Tone Capone. He's helped develop my style.
I owe a lot Dan.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
So what I'm saying Sammy Woods today is that it
was a quite organic experience. It wasn't It wasn't no
you know, something that was forced. They came out naturally.
He deserves to be on that song. He is from
the Bay Area. You know, it's the music, most of
music that I'd like to work on, it's got to
(35:19):
have a message at this point in my life. Otherwise
I feel like my offering there's nothing to it now.
Some some of the songs, they are going to have
some stinky feel to it where you're like, what does
he even mean that song? But this one, I'm just
being straight out. I'm tired of waiting.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
I'm from the Bay.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Area, I'm I'm gay oriented, I'm I'm fully ambitious even
at this age, and uh, you know, whatever gatekeepers there are,
you know, politely, please step out of the way. Let
me at least get off a little something. Let me,
you know, let me let y'all see what a little
before it's.
Speaker 16 (35:55):
Uh, you know, the window of opportunity closes. It's the
right time right now.
Speaker 9 (35:59):
I'm a lamer. It takes different people, different times, different
strokes for different folks, different I would love to be
that this next couple of years, I give y'all what
you deserve to hear, and then the.
Speaker 16 (36:13):
Rest will be history, you know. I just yeah, what
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
I just would love to kind of see what you
guys think about what I'm experimenting.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Beautiful Connie. You know I'm going to make now is
where I'm going to make my statement to you, and
I'm gonna i'd love to hear your feedback on the
following statement.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
And my thought is.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
Based on the fact that I was there in this
window of time when a lot of this stuff was
taking place here in the US, and specifically here in
the Bay Area along the West coast of the US,
and over here what was bubbling up was this confluence
of cultures, let's just call it, where hip hop culture
(37:02):
and our Punjabi culture were really starting to kind.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Of conjoin and become one.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
And I'm, you know, here to tell you that the
very first person to actually start this genre and to
actually start doing this. Many people may not know this,
but the fact of the matter is it's the gentleman
on the line with me right now, kunwir Gil. And
so my statement and my question to you is this,
(37:30):
my statement is your ground zero for Punjabi hip hop
and it should be remembered as that going forward forever,
and whatever we can do to clarify the matter should
be done. But uh Kanwa, you've you've you've seen this
genre explode and become chart topping in what it is now?
(37:50):
What are your thoughts on your view of how the
genre has progressed and how it's evolved right in front
of you as being as I called it, ground zero
and I know that you're humbly put it as one
of the pioneers that you know, But what what what
is your observation on this progression of the space.
Speaker 16 (38:09):
Well, I gotta be all the way honest.
Speaker 9 (38:15):
The genre and the art from the culture is only
going to go as forward as a living artist can
take it forward. It's it's produced or the days. I
never leave out the DJ, it's the artist, it's the
men and women.
Speaker 16 (38:31):
Involved in hip hop and hip hop as a whole.
But I will say, I gotta be real about this.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
I just came back from a visit from India and
I'm visited to house and and you know, if he
was still alive, I'd say, I'm very excited about when
jab be hip hop and where it's going. But with
his pasting, it's I'm not. I'm just I'm I'm excited
(39:00):
about what he left us with and the material that
he left us with. But we got to really start
honoring our fellow artists a little bit more and start respecting.
And then the other artists themselves got also respect the
game a little bit too. But I miss what that
young brother was bringing to the game. Uh, there's a
(39:21):
there's an empty spot left now and now it's I'll
tell you a game. This this wrapping stuff, it's a sport.
Speaker 16 (39:31):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
I want to say, whoever's listening, I want you all.
Speaker 16 (39:34):
To know, is that what I look at this kid as.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
It's a fun sport to.
Speaker 16 (39:37):
Me without no trophy really, and the only reward a
lot of these brothers will get, whether it's Tucac or
Simon Lucia, Notorious b I G. Mac dra Jack. The
list goes on, stack bundles, nippy hustle. The only trophy
you get in this rap music stuff usually is a
hot bullet and then and then you become a leg.
(40:00):
And I'm just one of the type of people that
Bible and dabbled with it.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
I haven't left such a strong mark yet. God willing
something happens. But yes, I'm depressed like everybody else.
Speaker 16 (40:12):
As far as where it was going. That boy was
going to take it.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
That man yet young man was going to take it,
and he had taken it to a whole other level,
and we as listeners and fellow artists got robbed of
some beautiful arts now without him being in the space.
The one thing I got to say about Punjabi people
and the human race as a whole is we're.
Speaker 16 (40:37):
Strong people and the art is love and love never die.
Speaker 9 (40:43):
You can kill you can kill us, but we're always
going to multiply. So yes, the young brother, he left
us with what he left us, and he did push
the art so much forward where now it's so good
that really if another artist it's a baton somewhat. The
(41:07):
spirit see this music stuff is magic.
Speaker 16 (41:10):
Man. It's not just there is something you could see.
It's the emotion, it's a feeling.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
We're hopeful people, man. The human race altogether is the
hopeful people. But Punjabi people were so proud, and sometimes
ask my of why are we so proud? Why do
we always raise our fists and say I'm Punjabi? So
I think it's because, you know, we're just hopeful people.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
Man.
Speaker 9 (41:34):
We made something out of messing man. I mean, we've
got a lot of rich people out here. As far
as Punjabi people, we touched a lot of different molks,
but if we chase our roots back. Most of us
come from just rice and lentiels Man very like deep struggles,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
And so.
Speaker 9 (41:54):
As a feed grows and turns into a plant, and
the plants leaves, you know, spread and do it sing
And when every culture has I mean, look at the
the look at that knowledge that these guys, God bless them,
they're doing great things. But let's not forget people like Sintina.
Let's not forget Srinder, Sinda, Let's lef for.
Speaker 16 (42:15):
It, forget Cindersinda.
Speaker 9 (42:18):
You know, the big the small artists on Moon Waters,
Bendra Kia, Tony Fabla, the.
Speaker 16 (42:23):
List goes on.
Speaker 27 (42:24):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 16 (42:26):
We owe a lot of these guys.
Speaker 9 (42:27):
And so when I'm doing the music or living the music,
I try my best to honor everybody in this because
it's no one man in this job.
Speaker 16 (42:38):
We're all in it together.
Speaker 9 (42:40):
And hey, let's all, you know, stay in a celebratory
mood and keep it pushing forward.
Speaker 16 (42:45):
But yes, I'm overall, I'm very excited. I'm very excited
where music is going right now.
Speaker 5 (42:53):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 6 (42:53):

Speaker 5 (56:57):
I was like, oh my god, Indian hip hop is coming.
Speaker 9 (57:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (57:04):
Shout out to Kunwar for joining me today. And if
there's anything I want you to take.
Speaker 6 (57:08):
Away from this episode, it's this the history of Punjabi
hip hop as we've been told it for the last
twenty years or so, twenty five years or so, skip's
a step. We start the story with Bohemia in the
early two thousands, and we treat that as ground zero.
But the music doesn't lie, the dates don't lie. And
the artist who was rapping in Punjabi in California, recording it,
(57:31):
releasing it, building an audience for it before any of
the names we now call legends had ever stepped to
a mic, was sitting in that interview chair today.
Speaker 5 (57:41):
His name is Kunwar Gill.
Speaker 6 (57:43):
I'm not asking you to take Bohemia's place in the
cannon away from this at all, or trying to shade
Bohemia's contribution to the space. I'm asking you to make
room next to him for the man who walked first.
That's how genres work, That's how every American art form
got told, jazz, hip hop, rock, whatever. You can go
(58:06):
back and you can find the artist who is there
before the artist everybody knows, and you say their name
out loud. So when somebody asks you where Punjabi hip
hop started, and they will, you give them two names. Bohemia, yes,
but also Kannowar Gil because the Timeline says, so tomorrow
will get into the wider field of Indian hip hop.
Speaker 5 (58:28):
So make sure you join me tomorrow morning at nine
am for that show. I've had a great time hanging
out with you guys. Folks. I'll leave you with this
song right here. It's another one of Kanwar's first songs.
Speaker 20 (58:39):
It's called Ashiki.
Speaker 5 (58:40):

Bohemia and other people that have, in their own mind

As you guys know squarely about the Punjabi hip hop
space and just generally the overall Indian hip hop space.
And what we'll talk about today is the guy that
started the Punjabi space.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
His name is Kunwar.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Gil will be interviewing him very shortly and you may
remember him from songs with artists like JAZZYB, Tiger Style
and even yours truly. So we'll get into some of
that today. Now let's bring in Doctor Roy to the show.
How are you Doctor Roy?
Speaker 13 (10:48):
Hey guys, this is Doctor Roy with Today's Word on
the Avenue. In Film and TV News, Dasha Patani is
set to make a major international leap with her Hollywood
debut in the Porla Force. The project mark another growing
crossover moment for the Indian talent making its presence felt
on the global entertainment stage. In media news, Ishambani made
(11:08):
a striking pre Megala appearance in New York City at
Madame Tussaud's, wearing a custom Manish Blotra and Sudieshkawan styled
by Anita Shafadajania. The look featured twenty six embroidered panels
representing diverse Indian textile traditions, blending coutour with cultural storytelling
on a global stage. In event News, Behind the Glamor
(11:29):
of luxury fashion houses like Door, Valentino and Versace lies
the intricate craftsmanship of Indian artisans nurtured by Vinode Magen
Lalshah through Janika International. By preserving centuries old embroidery traditions
and training thousands of women artisans, that Adelier has transformed
Indian handicraft into a global force. And hope coteur. That's
(11:50):
it for today's word on the avenue until next time.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Thank you very much, doctor Roy. And let's turn this
one over to one of the young artists in our
space that is really grabbed my attention. His name is

a novelty and he says, hey, Sammy, I had this
one verse. And I remember saying to him, go back
and write the second verse and we're gonna record this tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
We are so well I'm gonna say it plainly, We're
so honored to have you on for what you've meant
to our space and and just in not only Banjabi
hip hop, but just our story of telling the diaspora
story out here of North American music and so canoir.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It's not how to have you on, my man.
Speaker 16 (29:06):
My guy, thank you, my guy, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Brother, So, I, of course I know a lot about
your story. I've I've I've had the fine honor of
being a fan from a from a very long time.
And you know, I of course people know you as
you started off by by the great work you've done
with people like Jazzy B and with Tiger Style and
so many other artists like that at the time, right
(29:35):
and and you know that that impact still to this
day lives pretty loud. And anytime I mentioned your name,
people right away refer to that work that you did. Uh,
Connie man, you you've been in this space for such
a long time, you know, and for people to remember
that impact in those verses that you put out from
(29:55):
from a while back, brother, you know, tell me how
does that feel?
Speaker 16 (30:03):
Overall? It's a great feeling.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
But as an artist, I'm still looking for closure from
certain aspects.
Speaker 16 (30:11):
In any artist's career, he wants or she wants to
be recognized for what they were. You know, what they're.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Offering is, and my my story does have some long
givity to it, longevity. And then at the same time,
as an artist, I gotta be real, I am a
late bloomer kind of guy.
Speaker 16 (30:33):
I've lived.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
You know. One thing about myself as a fella that
makes music is I've actually had some downtime, some great
times sometimes when I had to kind of disappear, disappear
from the scene for a minute. Yeah, well I I yes,
I've been in it. But now it's my time to
(30:54):
kind of give it a good consistent effort so that
people can have fun and enjoy what I got to
bring to the table as far as this music stuff
and culture, maybe even a little bit of fashion too.
Speaker 16 (31:09):
Even though a lot of these guys beat me to.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
The punt, I still have my own offering, and I
just appreciate people lending in here and being excited about
me kind of showing myself again and letting people.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Hear what I got.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
I'm very, very grateful for people's support. You and Anjo,
you know, all my friends down there in southern California.
Speaker 16 (31:34):
Up here in the Bay people have been down with
me and Rock and with a movement for a long
long time.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
And you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be mentioning all
these people later. But yes, you know, Jazzy, he done
so much to my life. I thank him every.
Speaker 16 (31:51):
Time I see him.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
It's not every day a big artist like that will
give you, give you a chance. And he did Tigers
Yourself from me, Low Heat from Neil, all of them guys,
you know, all the d days down that way, and
I built some great relationship and they're all you know,
they're all supporting, and I really I'm really excited, to
(32:17):
be honest with you. I got a little bit of
jitters and there's some nervousness there, but that you know,
that's natural.
Speaker 16 (32:24):
I've kind of been in and out of this stuff.
But I promise you guys, this year, I'm gonna give
y'all straight heat. Rock.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Well, you're off to a flying start, my man. This
brand new single that you've just dropped with of course
you know people don't know this, but another Bay native
and then you have the two of you guys getting
together and the song is called from the Bay. You
just dropped it here April twentieth. It's a great collaboration
amongst I would say two of the best in our space.
(32:55):
How is it working with He's a great dude, by
the way, shout out to fate or are homie right there?
Speaker 16 (33:00):
Well, that's that's kind of why I worked with him. Man,
he's a great dude.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
You said it.
Speaker 16 (33:07):
The Ombreak is a one, a gentleman and a scholar, and.
Speaker 9 (33:12):
He deserves to be in the space, and he's a
fellow that day in and day out, considers this artistry
stuff a full time job.
Speaker 16 (33:22):
The song was not pressured or rushed or forced.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
This stuff a lot of the music, I mean, naturally
it represents our lives.
Speaker 16 (33:32):
Me and Butte Cross had to be real with you.
I was walking down the street. He's seen me. He
waved me down a.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Year prior to do the song. He said we should
do something, and I said we should do something. We
took a picture and that was that.
Speaker 16 (33:46):
A year later, I had a song that.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
You know, we're just working on, and I'm like, you know,
I could use some accompaniment.
Speaker 16 (33:55):
As instantly it's.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
His name popped up and so I I just went
with a gut feeling and the rest was history. He
delivered an awesome sixteen bars. You might actually even hear
me and him more in the future.
Speaker 16 (34:12):
We really get along.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You know.
Speaker 16 (34:13):
There's a gentleman between me and him. You know, there's
a there's some guys called bold friend Job. They his manager, Nicky.
You know it's I love to.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
Give people back backstage passes to the music and what's happening,
because a lot of the stuff that I purpose you know,
not purposefully. You know, God has control over everything that's happening,
but for some odd reason. And then the stuff that
I'm involved in making, it's a team effort.
Speaker 16 (34:41):
I've never done anything alone.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
In fact, these last ten fifteen years, twenty years, almost
about seven, I's been working with a gentleman we call
up here in the Bay Area.
Speaker 16 (34:52):
His name is Tone Capone. He's helped develop my style.
I owe a lot Dan.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
So what I'm saying Sammy Woods today is that it
was a quite organic experience. It wasn't It wasn't no
you know, something that was forced. They came out naturally.
He deserves to be on that song. He is from
the Bay Area. You know, it's the music, most of
music that I'd like to work on, it's got to
(35:19):
have a message at this point in my life. Otherwise
I feel like my offering there's nothing to it now.
Some some of the songs, they are going to have
some stinky feel to it where you're like, what does
he even mean that song? But this one, I'm just
being straight out. I'm tired of waiting.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
I'm from the Bay.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Area, I'm I'm gay oriented, I'm I'm fully ambitious even
at this age, and uh, you know, whatever gatekeepers there are,
you know, politely, please step out of the way. Let
me at least get off a little something. Let me,
you know, let me let y'all see what a little
before it's.
Speaker 16 (35:55):
Uh, you know, the window of opportunity closes. It's the
right time right now.
Speaker 9 (35:59):
I'm a lamer. It takes different people, different times, different
strokes for different folks, different I would love to be
that this next couple of years, I give y'all what
you deserve to hear, and then the.
Speaker 16 (36:13):
Rest will be history, you know. I just yeah, what
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
I just would love to kind of see what you
guys think about what I'm experimenting.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Beautiful Connie. You know I'm going to make now is
where I'm going to make my statement to you, and
I'm gonna i'd love to hear your feedback on the
following statement.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
And my thought is.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
Based on the fact that I was there in this
window of time when a lot of this stuff was
taking place here in the US, and specifically here in
the Bay Area along the West coast of the US,
and over here what was bubbling up was this confluence
of cultures, let's just call it, where hip hop culture
(37:02):
and our Punjabi culture were really starting to kind.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Of conjoin and become one.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
And I'm, you know, here to tell you that the
very first person to actually start this genre and to
actually start doing this. Many people may not know this,
but the fact of the matter is it's the gentleman
on the line with me right now, kunwir Gil. And
so my statement and my question to you is this,
(37:30):
my statement is your ground zero for Punjabi hip hop
and it should be remembered as that going forward forever,
and whatever we can do to clarify the matter should
be done. But uh Kanwa, you've you've you've seen this
genre explode and become chart topping in what it is now?
(37:50):
What are your thoughts on your view of how the
genre has progressed and how it's evolved right in front
of you as being as I called it, ground zero
and I know that you're humbly put it as one
of the pioneers that you know, But what what what
is your observation on this progression of the space.
Speaker 16 (38:09):
Well, I gotta be all the way honest.
Speaker 9 (38:15):
The genre and the art from the culture is only
going to go as forward as a living artist can
take it forward. It's it's produced or the days. I
never leave out the DJ, it's the artist, it's the
men and women.
Speaker 16 (38:31):
Involved in hip hop and hip hop as a whole.
But I will say, I gotta be real about this.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
I just came back from a visit from India and
I'm visited to house and and you know, if he
was still alive, I'd say, I'm very excited about when
jab be hip hop and where it's going. But with
his pasting, it's I'm not. I'm just I'm I'm excited
(39:00):
about what he left us with and the material that
he left us with. But we got to really start
honoring our fellow artists a little bit more and start respecting.
And then the other artists themselves got also respect the
game a little bit too. But I miss what that
young brother was bringing to the game. Uh, there's a
(39:21):
there's an empty spot left now and now it's I'll
tell you a game. This this wrapping stuff, it's a sport.
Speaker 16 (39:31):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
I want to say, whoever's listening, I want you all.
Speaker 16 (39:34):
To know, is that what I look at this kid as.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
It's a fun sport to.
Speaker 16 (39:37):
Me without no trophy really, and the only reward a
lot of these brothers will get, whether it's Tucac or
Simon Lucia, Notorious b I G. Mac dra Jack. The
list goes on, stack bundles, nippy hustle. The only trophy
you get in this rap music stuff usually is a
hot bullet and then and then you become a leg.
(40:00):
And I'm just one of the type of people that
Bible and dabbled with it.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
I haven't left such a strong mark yet. God willing
something happens. But yes, I'm depressed like everybody else.
Speaker 16 (40:12):
As far as where it was going. That boy was
going to take it.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
That man yet young man was going to take it,
and he had taken it to a whole other level,
and we as listeners and fellow artists got robbed of
some beautiful arts now without him being in the space.
The one thing I got to say about Punjabi people
and the human race as a whole is we're.
Speaker 16 (40:37):
Strong people and the art is love and love never die.
Speaker 9 (40:43):
You can kill you can kill us, but we're always
going to multiply. So yes, the young brother, he left
us with what he left us, and he did push
the art so much forward where now it's so good
that really if another artist it's a baton somewhat. The
(41:07):
spirit see this music stuff is magic.
Speaker 16 (41:10):
Man. It's not just there is something you could see.
It's the emotion, it's a feeling.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
We're hopeful people, man. The human race altogether is the
hopeful people. But Punjabi people were so proud, and sometimes
ask my of why are we so proud? Why do
we always raise our fists and say I'm Punjabi? So
I think it's because, you know, we're just hopeful people.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
Man.
Speaker 9 (41:34):
We made something out of messing man. I mean, we've
got a lot of rich people out here. As far
as Punjabi people, we touched a lot of different molks,
but if we chase our roots back. Most of us
come from just rice and lentiels Man very like deep struggles,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
And so.
Speaker 9 (41:54):
As a feed grows and turns into a plant, and
the plants leaves, you know, spread and do it sing
And when every culture has I mean, look at the
the look at that knowledge that these guys, God bless them,
they're doing great things. But let's not forget people like Sintina.
Let's not forget Srinder, Sinda, Let's lef for.
Speaker 16 (42:15):
It, forget Cindersinda.
Speaker 9 (42:18):
You know, the big the small artists on Moon Waters,
Bendra Kia, Tony Fabla, the.
Speaker 16 (42:23):
List goes on.
Speaker 27 (42:24):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 16 (42:26):
We owe a lot of these guys.
Speaker 9 (42:27):
And so when I'm doing the music or living the music,
I try my best to honor everybody in this because
it's no one man in this job.
Speaker 16 (42:38):
We're all in it together.
Speaker 9 (42:40):
And hey, let's all, you know, stay in a celebratory
mood and keep it pushing forward.
Speaker 16 (42:45):
But yes, I'm overall, I'm very excited. I'm very excited
where music is going right now.
Speaker 5 (42:53):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 6 (42:53):

Speaker 5 (57:04):
Shout out to Kunwar for joining me today. And if
there's anything I want you to take.
Speaker 6 (57:08):
Away from this episode, it's this the history of Punjabi
hip hop as we've been told it for the last
twenty years or so, twenty five years or so, skip's
a step. We start the story with Bohemia in the
early two thousands, and we treat that as ground zero.
But the music doesn't lie, the dates don't lie. And
the artist who was rapping in Punjabi in California, recording it,
(57:31):
releasing it, building an audience for it before any of
the names we now call legends had ever stepped to
a mic, was sitting in that interview chair today.
Speaker 5 (57:41):
His name is Kunwar Gill.
Speaker 6 (57:43):
I'm not asking you to take Bohemia's place in the
cannon away from this at all, or trying to shade
Bohemia's contribution to the space. I'm asking you to make
room next to him for the man who walked first.
That's how genres work, That's how every American art form
got told, jazz, hip hop, rock, whatever. You can go
(58:06):
back and you can find the artist who is there
before the artist everybody knows, and you say their name
out loud. So when somebody asks you where Punjabi hip
hop started, and they will, you give them two names. Bohemia, yes,
but also Kannowar Gil because the Timeline says, so tomorrow
will get into the wider field of Indian hip hop.
Speaker 5 (58:28):
So make sure you join me tomorrow morning at nine
am for that show. I've had a great time hanging
out with you guys. Folks. I'll leave you with this
song right here. It's another one of Kanwar's first songs.
Speaker 20 (58:39):
It's called Ashiki.
Speaker 5 (58:40):
It's featuring Benita.
Speaker 20 (58:42):
Have a great day, everybody, Pa and pardild yam SI's.
Speaker 21 (58:57):
