An Indo-German collaboration with production by the talented DJ BC from Germany and the lyrics and vocals by A-List from India.
 This track is a quick freestyle  in response to Vedanta trying to salvage it's reputation by sponsoring "Celebrate The Girl Child" after attempting to exploit the tribal community in Odhisa for the Niyamgiri Hills. Actually, the Vedanta rep came to the studio and kidnapped A-List and recorded this freestyle as a message to everyone. Enjoy!

We are Vedanta, everywhere that we go,
Faking Happiness, you know how we roll,
We are Vedanta, everywhere that we go,
Faking Happiness, you know how we roll,
That's right, this is the Vedanta anthem,
All the corporate greedy people chant them,
That's right, this the Vedanta anthem,
All the corporate greedy people anthem,
That's right, let's go ahead and do this,
We thought we'd put our corporate greed to some music,
And tell you exactly where we come from,
Come on man, this is not a protest, this not a dumb song,
You see we kidnapped A-List, he's in the back,
So Vedanta rep could come here and rap,
And tell you the truth,
That is the youth,
That needs to understand this is so much more than booth,
SO,
Listen to this, let the world know,
Matter of fact, for the girls though,
Let's really talk about 'coz the world dies,
When we build a mine, but we do the girl child,
We do a program for them on NDTV,
And now look, all these emcees be free,
But they never really talk about what we do,
"Coz corporate sponsorship taken, BOOM!
Now what you gonna do, what you gonna say,
'Coz we do this like every single day,
Exploiting poor people like it is fun,
Actually it is when that shit has done

This is Vedanta and this is our anthem,
All the corporate greedy people chant them,
This is Vedanta and this is our anthem,
All the corporate greedy people chant them

That's right, ain't this a crazy world,
We are evil but we got Desi Girl,
That's right, we got Priyanka Chopra to endorse us,
Now we got all kinds of endorsements,
All sorts of people saying that it's cool,
What they did in the past, but they sent kids to school,
But hear the truth, we didn't send anyone though,
That's right, and that's how we get through the flow,
That's right, yo, this is such a crappy fest,
We make an art form out of faking happiness,
And that's us, that's the Vedanta anthem,
All the corporate greedy people chant them,
And yo, you know Niyamgiri's ill,
And we will come back, we will take Niyamgiri Hill,
And all the tribal people who had opposed us,
Come on man, you had proposed us
To be gone, but we will be back,
And when we come, we will come, we will be wrath,
We will buy over the police and the army,
That's right, I'm rich, tell me who'll harm me,

Vedanta Anthem(Produced by DJ BC)

This is a parody of Adele's Someone Like You, originally written by me and the tune originally ripped off by me.
I'm on vocals and on guitar. Yes, Godammit everything has been done by me. Only me.

Someone Like You - The Divorce Parody

LYRICS:

VERSE 1 [Shaman]

Once a picture perfect vision of life, and now I'm picking up the pieces
Still can't believe it'll pass quick enough to meet Him
It's like I've written my own thesis, I'm finally listening to reason
Instead of smoking, drinking for some peace and pissing off my demons
The world's a bitch off of her leash and yes, she's festered with fleas
I'm trying to be what my society expects me to be
Job security, a car that's sweet, materialistic aspirations
Is life's amount calculated by your account and balance statements?
Is your life so blank and vacant? Is your heart a chasm gaping
Into the endless blackness chasing all the senseless cash you're making?
We've all got our passions flaming, and it takes a man to embrace it
I've mastered patience, cracked the case and changed the way I fashioned greatness
Drastic changes are passing phases, rats are racing, amassing paychecks
No past relation lasts for ages, so practice making happy faces
Masked with make-up, all complacent, I've grown sick of constant pacing
And all the time I've contemplating that death is like a monster waiting
But I'm not afraid to face it, I ain't buying my way to heaven, am I?
Behind the devilish smile, I'm just a regular guy
Who likes to cherish old times of our adolescent lives
Trying to shed some light by writing the cleverest rhymes
Demented as I am, my intellect and skill's my only property
And right now, we're no different from a few pieces of Monopoly
The human race is at its dying end, we've run our entire lengths
No use in denying it, we're products of the same environment so..

HOOK [sample]

Trouble's my middle name, but in the end I'm not too bad
Someone tell me, it's not too wrong to be so mad.. 

VERSE 2 [D'evil]

I am an impossible person
you might be good at cursing but I'm the dark version
I worsen the situation, I am a burden
I should have been a Cat and a persian
When I am troublesome, it's double fun
How could it not be? I'm Dhaval, son
Sometimes I walk in my sleep and kill people,
My hate for them is still equal, that's D'evil,
Snipe them through a peephole
Take you on a helicopter ride and drop you on a steel pole
Wanna build steeples of the people who don't like me
Blood on my Nikes, don't ever think you can strike me
The stuff you smoked is spiked, see
I got heavy bars, you can never take em lightly
So, wake me up nicely, or face the trouble 
When you're asleep, I may run a lawn-mower over your stubble
Fearsome! Don't even try coming near, son
I hear some weeping, you bitches are clear cunts
I'll smear blood, keep you under a constant fear son
Give you a sharp sound, with a spear pierced up your eardrum
I rocked the world, like I dropped a curse
You fell so flat even your face has lost the curve
He is getting what he does not deserve
Never sugarcoat shit, 'cause I don't like desserts
Real shit, it sucks how I live
Arya Bhatt invented the number of fucks that I give

Trouble (ft. D'evil)

A hip-hop collective formed in 2016 by MC's based in different parts of Pakistan. An antithesis to the generic commercial rap dominating their country, Daranti Group is influenced by the boom-bap sounds of old school east coast hip-hop, complimented with some relevant influences from other localities & eras. This is our debut track, "Daranti Group: The Introduction"

[HAIVAAN]
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Jaali rapperaan di ithay bund bandook
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Nakli rapperaan di aj maa di choot

[JAMAL ALVI]
No you ain't dreaming, you're hearin this heathen breathin
I reason in the face of an ignorant race of people
Pledging blind allegiance to their men at arms
We've been going through a serious reverse rennaisance
Heaven calls me to retreat from my current cause
I just wanna enter hell's walls doing somersaults
Fuck em all, the rapper that these motherfuckers ain't got nothin on
You peepin toms
Trying to creep above and get a peak inside of hip-hop
Perverting the essence and message, making shit art
Thinking you're the coolest, you're strictly just a nuisance 
All the music you're producin got the movement lookin stupid
Wannabe Sufi's
If they let you loose you'll be lynching us with nooses
And this is how we do this
Daranti Group is the movement

[HAIVAAN]
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Jaali rapperaan di ithay bund bandook
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Nakli rapperaan di aj maa di choot

[POLYMATH]
An Islamic alcoholic kickin straight up knowledge
When I rap I don't spit, I just straight up vomit
So brother, I'm on it, pass the gin and tonic
Reroute my brain, drop a funky sonnet
Animate the crowd, blast classics underground
Anarchist and proud, gas fascists to the ground
No escapin this primal sound
Propagate your fate, smashin states, all loud
My flow's volcanic, organic Indo-Iranic
Manic depressive, I don't panic when I'm stressin
Fuck what you heard bro, fuck what you be listenin
My approach is nihilistic, I explode like nitroglycerin
Wannabe Sufi's
If they let me loose I'll be blessing you with bruises
This is how I do this
Daranti Group mera movement

[HAIVAAN]
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Jaali rapperaan di ithay bund bandook
Daranti Group kare move, chaon ho ya dhoop
Nakli rapperaan di aj maa di choot

Daranti Group: The Introduction

Fall Of Babylon - Mo Boucher , Enkore

Another Mumbai-Kashmir collaboration with lyrics and vocals of A-List (Bombay) and production from Shyn9n (Kashmir). This song is dedicated to the Kabir Kala Manch, a cultural group that has been wrongly charged as naxalites and imprisoned for their protest music.

Lyrics:

Let's get to the point, this is the crunch,
Dedicate this joint to Kabir Kala Manch,
They're poets, they say what the facts are like,
But the state is calling them Naxalites, (X2)

Who is Kabir Kala Manch? You browse in the news,
A group that was formed in 2002,
Of poets and artists who are loud with their views,
A real artist tells the crowd what was true,
The scripts were hard 'coz of reality though,
This shit's bizarre, where did equality go,
There's no quality though, such a tragedy yo,
Could be a parody show what we gladly ignore,
Two dalits are raped and three killed everyday,
Can you relate or even say what it may,
Feel in the state where you deal with the hate,
But the scene is replaced with the cream of the fake,
Upper class Upper caste Privilege,
You say fuck all the past pillages,
But the past images are still in vast villages,
Even in the cities, you see caste still exists,
You think not, but the dream won't last,
Get shot for saying "Jai Bhim Comrade",
You think not, but the dream won't last,
Get shot for saying "Jai Bhim Comrade",

Let's get to the point, this is the crunch,
Dedicate this joint to Kabir Kala Manch,
They're poets, they say what the facts are like,
But the state is calling them Naxalites, (X2)

Just let the flow say what the pen spray,
Arrest Siddharth Bhonsle and Deepak Dengle,
But in the end they know the case is weak,
But the state it seeks to erase the steak,
Of being honest and true, so keep adjusting these,
Dates so they extend the custody,
Forget just or free, these are dark days,
After surrender of Sheetal Sathe,
Six months pregnant, let me hone this story,
Judicial Custody unlike Soni Sori,
Who they sexually abused, there is crazy stress,
For intellectual views, end up with ATS,
Sachin Mali under Anti Terrorist Squad,
So now poets can be terrorists, lord!
Please note there are no charges of violence,
It's a cheap joke, we've largely been silent,
They sing of malnutrition and farmer suicides,
On that Bhagat Singh shit, this is martyr's music right,
The real Bob Dylans, Tupacs of the nation,
While indie scene is just a simulation,
They the real deal, they not what militants be,
Some songs might endorse militancy,
But merely endorsing a view is not a criminal act,
While the losses accrue where the minerals at,
Corporates are robbing the nation blind,
But that's all great, just don't relate their crimes,
To the people, that makes these suckers jump,
That's why they arrested Kabir Kala Manch,

Kabir Kala Manch,
That's why they arrested Kabir Kala Manch,
Put your fist in the air like you gonna punch,
And sing for Kabir Kala Manch,
For Kabir Kala Manch,
Free Kabir Kala Manch,
Free Sheetal Sathe, Deepak Dengle,
Sachin Mali, Siddharth Bhonsle,
Free poets who speak up,
Free Kabir Kala Manch.

I rhyme words on beats. Sometimes in the studio, sometimes on stage.

And I say shit they don't want us to say.
