Revelator: How Shikriwal is reshaping Bihar's musical identity and craft in a sensationalized genre
For most listeners, “Bhojpuri music” still means glossy videos, loud beats and lyrics built for quick virality. It’s a reputation so strong that the language itself often gets written off as incapable of nuance.
Sasaram-born rapper Sanket Shikriwal walks straight into that stereotype and scrambles it. Working in Bhojpuri and Hindi, he bends rap toward something slower and more cinematic – jazz chords, saxophone lines, and verses that feel more like letters than punchlines. “Real Baat”, his breakout track, pairs a soft, wandering sax with Bhojpuri bars in a way that feels closer to late-night jazz radio than to YouTube bangers.
Before all this, he was writing poems - small attempts to make sense of growing up in Bihar, of family, friendships, restlessness. Rap arrived later as a louder vessel for the same thoughts. That’s why his flow never sounds like it’s chasing a trend; the words decide the rhythm, not the other way round. The horns, pianos and brushed drums simply give those words a room to live in.
Natya Alaapika, his 18-track album, stretches that instinct into a full world. The record moves like theatre: ritual-like openings, sudden mood shifts, long passages where instruments seem to argue with his voice. It’s part folk memory, part protest, part private diary, and it rewards people who sit with it start to finish rather than skimming for singles.
What stands out with Shikriwal is how stubbornly he dodges both the standard hip-hop template and the loudest version of Bhojpuri pop. He leans into vulnerability, writes about fear, affection, faith and failure, and lets the language breathe instead of turning it into a gag. Even his use of saxophone feels like a quiet argument with the idea that Bhojpuri has to shout to be heard.
If you’ve never willingly played a Bhojpuri track, he’s an ideal first step. Spend an evening with Natya Alaapika and you hear a different possibility: regional rap that feels global in its ambition yet rooted in its soil – proof that Bihar’s future sound doesn’t have to look, sound or behave like anyone else’s.

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES VIRUS, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandon me so they won’t get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there’s no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how Dr.Akhimien cured them from HERPES VIRUS, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 9 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr.Akhimien because I forever owe you my life and I’ll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through the same situation, worry no more and contact DR Akhimien via website: https://drakhiniemodion.wixsite.com/drakhimien

As a single mom of two little ones, working double shifts as a nurse, I poured my entire $245K savings—built for their college and our home—into Bitcoin after ‘Mark’ on Instagram promised 15% monthly returns. He seemed genuine, shared proof, and I trusted him to secure our future.Then silence. Funds gone, Mark vanished. I cried alone at night, terrified my kids would lose everything because of my mistake. Felt like rock bottom.A friend mentioned JetWebHackers. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. Their team listened kindly, traced the blockchain quickly, and recovered every dollar—$245K back in my wallet in weeks.When it hit, I sat in the kitchen after bedtime, staring at the notification, and sobbed with pure relief. They gave this mom her hope and kids’ future back.If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up—JetWebHackers are real lifesavers. Thank you from my heart! God bless.#JetWebHackersWebsite: jetwebhackers.com
