There's no need to put a rap in every song: Raftaar

News Agencies | Updated on: 10 February 2017, 1:48 IST

Rapper Raftaar, who has crooned foot-tapping numbers like Dhup Chik, Swag Mera Desi, and All Black, says the rap genre will never fade away from the music industry.

Since every genre goes through its phase of being in and out of demand, a news agency asked Raftaar if the popularity of rap music will ever fade away.

"That is never going to happen. In no way possible," said Raftaar, whose real name is Dilin Nair.

At the same time, he feels there's no need to add rap all the time.

"There is a difference between quantity and quality. Being a rapper, I can say that it is not necessary to put a rap verse in every other song," he said.

The Pappi crooner said he is happy about the fact that people are understanding what rap songs "actually mean".

"Last year it (rap songs) was a trend, but now people are actually understanding what it actually means," Raftaar added.
