Background
After immigrating to the U.S. over ten years ago, Ra (short for Raja) came to realize that the South Asian experience in America wasn't all nice cars and palm trees. On the contrary, he found himself living amongst murderers and drug dealers.Through his experiences, come raw, hard-edged raps depicting not just California street life, but a life many South Asians lead in America. His verses are in Punjabi, while many of the hooks are in English.
Bohemia is a Punjabi artist that raps in Punjabi and uses unique hip hop tunes in his music. So far he has released two major albums: Vich Pardesan De ("In The Foreign Land"), which he released under the pseudonym.
Bohemia’s new album “Pesa Nasha Pyar” is a rollercoaster ride of brilliantly arranged tracks ranging from dark street themes, to upbeat party songs.
