Known for his energetic and one-of-a-kind signature ‘chopper flow’, Kidshot’s ‘Bhot Kuch’ is sure to resonate with the hip hop community. The high-octane hip hop beats in the track is a build-up for a motivating crescendo, as KIDSHOT not only recounts his personal struggles but bares all through his unique flow and bars, his impressive lyrical ability and some pretty witty wordplay.
Expressing his excitement on the release of ‘Bhot Kuch’, KIDSHOT commented, “Life hasn’t been the same since I heard Illmatic by Nas. I was just 14 and that album inspired me in so many ways, but I never thought by 22 I would be associating with him and Mass Appeal India. All my listeners already know how much I idolize him, but these were mere dreams. Dreams that everyone laughed on when I said this could happen one day. It was just my homies who believed in me and did everything selflessly. I had no monetary support, no manager, nothing. We learnt everything ourselves and my #KidFam community made my songs reach the right ears by sharing it everywhere possible. This is just the beginning and I’m truly grateful. KIDSHOT further describes his influences for his chopper flow style, “Whenever I used to write and rap, I automatically used to rap fast, which is also called “Chopper Flow or Chopper Rap”. And slowly, as I discovered rappers like Tech n9ne, Twista, Eminem, Twisted Insane, and I knew this is what exactly I was meant for.”
Sharing his thoughts on ‘Bhot Kuch’ Devraj Sanyal, MD & CEO of UMG, India & South Asia said, “We found KIDSHOT through a social media portal and got in touch with him. His demos that he sent in blew everyone’s minds and we all agreed he was one of the most talented and authentic rappers we’d come across. His story of his parents, his childhood, his struggle really moved me and that gave me a clear view of why this kid is this gifted. He is definitely a superstar of the future and his chopper flow is something to watch out for. From me, Peter Bittenbender and our teams we’d like to welcome KIDSHOT to the Mass Appeal India family with the release of ‘Bhot Kuch’.”
