Every DRV record is a love letter to not just hip-hop but music in its purity - from addictive trap bass lines to psychedelic rock dreamscapes, Dhruv Rajpal’s music is an enigmatic force to be reckoned with. 

Dhruv Rajpal is the blazing north star over India’s vivid rap landscape. He broke into his own sonic dimension with a comet-like force—intense, rare, all-consuming—setting in stone that calling him a sensation won’t do him justice. From undeniable earworms like Empty (synced on #1 Netflix show Class Official Playlist) to dreamy distorted track collections like NAKSHATRA, His voice is an oracle through which his extensive experience in mixing-mastering, engineering, music production, and instrumental proficiency resonates through. With Nakshatra, DRV forged creative portals that are both sacred and profane, a testament to his grand artistic vision. He is the melodic rapper’s melodic rapper. Both the tastemaker of the underground and the voice behind projects like Fark Nahi Padta (From "Farzi") . Endowed with an ear for great sound, and the power to push it.

In many ways, the story of Indian trap music is the story of DRV. From his gravity-defying transcendence through desi hip-hop’s indie scene to garnering credible mainstream acclaim, there really has been no cooler household name than DRV. Even though his creative flair reverberates through the Indian trap wave, one truth is clear: there can never be another Dhruv Rajpal. ~ Rishika Arora
