For Export: How Shreyas Delivered Marathi Rap to The World
·
·
In Berlin clubs, at weddings in Mumbai, and on reels looping endlessly online, the chant of “lakalakalaka” lands with the same energy. Taambdi Chaamdi may have carried Shreyas into the global spotlight, but it grew out of years of steady work in street cyphers, and online communities where raw verses turned into the voice of a growing scene.
Emerging in India’s underground battle leagues, Shreyas honed his quick wit and sharp delivery, shaping the way he continues to write and perform. In Pune’s creative circles, collaborations like Gutter Rich with Vedang and That Dude AJ added to a body of music that carried the restless energy of a scene still finding its footing.
Early releases like Bring Back the Flowerboy EP and 2 Rotis Is Enough laid the groundwork, earning Shreyas a loyal underground base. That momentum led to SBTF Vol. 1 in 2022, where tracks like Paristhiti and Bharlela Taat broke into playlists and were celebrated by both mainstream listeners and the underground.
Even as his profile grew, Shreyas stayed close to his listeners through The Living Room sessions giving fans a chance to hear unreleased material in small, intimate spaces.
By 2023, tracks such as Kaapsacha Kaalij, Remember Me, and Uddhat blended Marathi lyricism with global production, pointing to a growing appetite for his sound. Each release added to a catalogue that was becoming distinct within Indian hip-hop.
Taambdi Chaamdi, made with Kratex and released on Spinnin’ Records, became the first Marathi track picked up by a global electronic label. The song’s sharp, rhythmic hook spread like wildfire on social media, while remixes by artists like KSHMR carried it into global festival sets. From celebrities to families at home, the chant caught on, and abroad it echoed in clubs and playlists across Germany, the UK, the US, and beyond.
The Grammys named Shreyas one of six Indian hip-hop artists the world should know; yet what stands out is how little he has shifted his core. Growing up across Ratnagiri, Mumbai, and Pune, learning Bhaktigeete from his grandfather on the harmonium and dholak - Shreyas has given Marathi rap a place on global stages without treating it as a novelty.
Battle Rap Background
From his teenage years, Shreyas cut his teeth in Mumbai’s B3 battle circuit and other underground rap leagues. These contests forced him to think quickly, sharpen punchlines, and claim room to speak in a crowded art form. He traded bravado for precision, building resilience in the face of jeers and tight time limits foundational skills that still echo in his music.
Gutter Rich
Shreyas, That Dude AJ and Vedang
“Gutter Rich,” a collaboration between Shreyas, Vedang, and That Dude AJ, became a cult favourite in India’s underground rap circles. Its raw production and unapologetic tone resonated with independent artists across cities. The track sparked multiple remixes from names like Gravity, Farhan Khan, Rhymix, and Smoke, turning it into a shared canvas for a new wave of Marathi and Hindi rappers finding their voice outside the mainstream.
Bharlela Taat
Stop Bullshittin’ the Fans Vol. 1
Released in 2022, Stop Bullshittin’ the Fans Vol. 1 captured the raw, unfiltered edge of Marathi hip-hop. Across its 13 minutes, Shreyas and producer Vedang built a tape that felt immediate and self-assured. “Bharlela Taat” shows Shreyas writing from a place of familiarity. He talks about monotony, hunger, and the noise that comes with chasing something bigger.
Paristhiti (Live)
Stop Bullshittin’ the Fans Vol. 1
The most celebrated track from Stop Bullshittin’ the Fans Vol. 1, “Paristhiti” marked a turning point for Marathi hip-hop. Shreyas raps about circumstance and self-awareness with a calm precision that contrasts the beat’s urgency. Produced by Vedang, the track found its way into major playlists and independent rap circles alike, becoming a benchmark for how regional language could carry hip-hop’s weight with clarity and intent.
Haadacha Kalakaar
Shreyas and Devonian
Released after the success of Stop Bullshittin’ the Fans Vol. 1, “Haadacha Kalakaar” reinforced Shreyas’s position as one of Marathi rap’s most distinctive voices. The track reflects on creative exhaustion and the constant grind behind visibility. Its writing is sharp yet introspective, showing an artist aware of both his limits and his purpose turning struggle itself into a form of authorship.
Kaapsacha Kalij
Shreyas and Devonian
In “Kaapsacha Kalij,” Shreyas focuses on working-class routines and small frictions commutes, budgets, and the push to keep creating set over Devonian’s minimal production. Noted by TIMD for its grounded detail, it marked a clear post-SBTF statement of tone and intent.
Uddhat
Shreyas and Vedang
“Uddhat” channels the energy that defines Shreyas’s collaboration with Vedang direct, confident, and unmistakably rooted in their shared sound. The song’s title, meaning “rebellious” or “unrestrained,” mirrors its tone. Over a stripped, percussive beat, Shreyas delivers verses that blur the line between assertion and reflection. It became one of his defining tracks of 2023, signaling Marathi rap’s growing command over modern production.
Taambdi Chaamdi
Shreyas and Kratex
“Taambdi Chaamdi” by Shreyas and Kratex became the first Marathi track to be signed by Spinnin’ Records. Its hook “lakalakalaka” a celebration of brown skin and self-pride turned into a viral chant across social media. The song crossed 4.2 million Spotify streams, topped Spotify India’s Daily Viral charts, and was played in clubs and festivals worldwide.

Gadbad
Shreyas, The Siege, Rebel 7, Devonian and Vedang
“Gadbad” from the Taadkefaad EP brought together Shreyas and The Siege for a straight, high-energy track. The word itself means “mess” or “trouble,” and the song carries that mood restless, fast, and full of tension. Both rappers trade verses about confusion and everyday chaos, making it one of the most talked-about Marathi hip-hop collaborations of 2023.
Rakkam
Started Off Poor, Shreyas, Vedang and Devonian
Started Off Poor’s “Rakkam” features Shreyas alongside Vedang and Devonian. The word means “money,” and the track explores how ambition and survival overlap. Built on Vedang’s sparse production, it avoids big hooks and polish, focusing instead on clean, deliberate verses. The song marks a darker, more reflective phase in Shreyas’s writing, showing his growing control as both storyteller and lyricist.
Remember Me
Shreyas and Devonian
“Remember Me” shows a more introspective side of Shreyas. The track moves away from social commentary and focuses on self-reflection fame, fatigue, and the need to be understood beyond the music. Devonian’s understated production lets the writing breathe, giving space to quieter emotions. It’s one of Shreyas’s most personal songs, revealing maturity beneath his usual sharp, rhythmic flow.
Marji Cha Maalik
Deva (2025)
“Marji Cha Maalik,” composed by Jakes Bejoy for the film Deva (2025), features Shreyas on vocals; a key moment for Marathi hip-hop entering mainstream cinema. The track’s release marked a shift from niche, underground recognition to mass visibility. Shreyas’s voice found space on a commercial soundtrack, signaling Marathi rap’s growing place in popular culture.
Proper
Lokhand EP
“Proper” appears on Shreyas’s Lokhand EP, mainly produced by Mridul Kala. This track channels a hard edge minimalist beats, sharp lyrics, and little ornamentation. It complements the EP’s iron-forged mood. While Lokhand as a whole leans aggressive and confrontational, “Proper” stands out for its directness and careful alignment with the EP’s raw sonic identity.
Shreyas’ Living Room
What began as a small gathering in his Pune home turned into a defining part of Shreyas’s journey. Shreyas’ Living Room sessions gave fans an unfiltered look at his creative process – unreleased tracks, open discussions, and a sense of community that larger venues couldn’t offer. Revived in 2024 across Pune and Mumbai, the series showed how deeply Shreyas valued connection over scale, keeping Marathi hip-hop rooted in real spaces.

“In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet.
