Beefs, beats and ruthless spirit have arguably fuelled KR$NA’s rise to the top tier of Indian independent hip-hop. On his long-anticipated full-length album Still Here, the rapper doubles down on the road to fame that he continues to travel—with help from heavyweights such as Badshah on the beaming “Roll Up”, singer Rashmeet Kaur on the boastful “Living Legend” and rapper Ikka on “Villain”. Buoyant hip-hop beats, trap rhythms and more allow the rapper to unfurl sublime bars in Hindi and English about his journey so far.
