The world’s largest hip-hop festival, Rolling Loud, didn't just touch down in Mumbai; it exploded onto the scene, creating one of the most significant cultural moments for South Asian music this year. While the line-up boasted global heavyweights like Don Toliver, Wiz Khalifa, and Swae Lee, the spotlight was on the homegrown talent led by Karan Aujla.
Riding on the success of his chart-topping album P-Pop Culture, Aujla’s performance marked a major moment for Punjabi music on the global stage. His blend of traditional Punjabi sounds with modern R&B created a set that felt fresh, powerful, and unmistakably his own. The energy was electric, and the experience was elevated even further, courtesy of a cultural alliance that speaks to the very essence of mastery.
