Tom Rasheed delivers a soul-stirring rendition of Hey Bartender, infusing the classic with his unique blend of American roots and African-Amazigh heritage. His voice, a pure embodiment of Americana, carries the grit of old-school blues and the warmth of gospel, layered with rhythmic influences drawn from his diverse background.

This cover transcends expectations, breathing fresh life into the original while paying homage to its essence. Rasheed’s seamless integration of deep, resonant vocals with intricate melodies and earthy undertones creates a version that feels both timeless and groundbreaking. Already turning heads, his interpretation may well eclipse the original, solidifying his place as an artist who bridges cultures with authenticity and passion.

BOYCKEE — To'qish / Ohang HD Mag / Meros Gallery X Navro'z 

This set was originally born from a request by the HD Mag team, but it eventually evolved into a creative project of its own. What started as an idea turned into a true experiment: weaving traditional Uzbek motifs with the diverse world of electronic music turned out to be a challenging yet rewarding process. It pushed my boundaries and opened up new perspectives and dimensions in both music creation and mixing.

"Lewantob - لیونتوب"  by AQ and Iceberg Kali [Pashto/English RnB 2023]

Raised in the heart of Saudi Arabian culture, I grew up surrounded by the rich sounds of Arabic music—its melodies, rhythms, and soul.
Later, I discovered the powerful pulse of house music—the kicks, the energy, the freedom.
This track is where those two worlds meet.
A fusion of deep house with Arabic soul, blending oud textures and desert rhythms with modern electronic grooves.
The photo was taken in the Saudi desert, near Riyadh, in a beautiful place called Al-Muzahmiyah (المزاحمية)—a reflection of where I come from and what inspires me.
I hope you feel the roots and the rhythm in every beat.

Back To Roots | ريفلكت

“Fo’ Da” is a contemporary exploration of romantic realism, wrapped in themes of materialism, global sensuality, and emotional contradiction. The lyrics, written by Aime Pandi Bapaga, follow a narrator who finds himself caught between the warnings of society and his own desire to surrender to a complex, mesmerizing woman. The song is a bold reflection on love in the modern age—where attraction, risk, and value systems collide.
✨ Central Conflict: External Perception vs. Internal Experience
The narrator is being warned to stay cautious—yet he refuses. He chooses experience over fear, emphasizing that people on the outside can’t truly understand what’s between him and this woman. The chorus repeats a key theme: while she may seem like a materialist chasing brands (“Gucci and Prada”), the narrator insists there’s more depth to her. She “ain’t no digger”—just a woman fluent in the codes of contemporary luxury and ambition.


🌀 Themes and Symbols

1. Ambiguity of Intention
The woman’s motives are unclear. She’s seen in luxury spaces—from Jeddah to Rabat to Prague—and drawn to symbols of wealth. But the narrator resists labeling her, reflecting the philosophical idea that true human intentions often lie beyond what can be judged externally. He accepts that ambiguity and leans into love anyway.

2. Romantic Risk as Freedom
In the bridge, the narrator’s defiance peaks: “Stop telling me to tread with caution / I don’t want to be cautious at all.” This expresses a Nietzschean idea: love, desire, and meaning require embracing fate, including the risks. Better to live fully than half-heartedly avoid hurt.

3. Materialism Without Shame
Repeated lines like “excavatin’ me, for the Gucci and Prada” show how desire and consumption are intertwined. Yet rather than condemning her for being materialistic, he frames it as part of her worldly authenticity—not corruption. In doing so, he critiques simplistic moral binaries that treat wealth attraction as moral failure.

4. Mythic Femininity
She’s referred to as “a genie in a bottle”, linking her to fantasy and myth. But instead of demonising this projection, the narrator respects her mystery. She becomes a muse—not because she’s innocent, but because she’s powerful, self-aware, and captivating.

🫀 Emotional Core and Final Plea
The outro delivers a vulnerable twist: “Gaslight me, haze me, hate me — but not her.” It’s a statement of loyalty, a decision to shield her from the scorn of others. He’d rather be misunderstood himself than let her be vilified. It’s love as protection, not possession.

📌 Takeaway Philosophy of “Fo’ Da”
•	Love doesn’t need to be perfect to be real.
•	Desire can be sincere, even when tied to luxury.
•	Risk is essential to meaning.
•	Labels can’t define the people we love.
“Fo’ Da” stands as a philosophical anthem of romantic defiance, where emotional truth is chosen over societal approval, and where materialism and myth coexist with tenderness and rebellion.

🧠 Overview (Marketing Version)
“Fo’ Da” is an Afrofusion-meets-global-pop confession of modern romance—where desire and designer collide. Written by Aime Pandi Bapaga and produced by NuVox, this genre-blurring track dances through Jeddah, Rabat, and Prague with bold rhythm, sensual vocals, and sharp social commentary.

A hypnotic beat underlines a love story that dares to defy the rules:
He’s warned she’s a gold digger. He sees her soul.
She rocks Gucci. He sees depth beneath the glam.
This is not your average heartbreak song—it’s romantic realism dressed in runway ambition.

🔥 Key Themes for Listeners:
🌀 Love vs. Judgment
Outside voices say she's after money. He says, “You don’t get it.” Real love doesn’t ask for permission.

💎 Luxury as Language
From Prada to power, she’s fluent in material codes—but that doesn’t make her shallow. “Fo’ Da” challenges the tired gold digger narrative.

⚡ Romantic Rebellion
He doesn’t want caution. He wants passion. “Stop telling me to tread with caution... I don’t want to be cautious at all.” That’s his stand.

🧿 Fantasy Meets Flesh
She’s mythic. A genie. A dream in motion. But he doesn’t want to possess her—he wants to protect her. Even if he pays the price.

💔 Last Line = Loyalty
"Gaslight me, haze me, hate me — but not her.”
He’d rather take the fall than let her be vilified.
That’s not weakness. That’s Fo’ Da.

📌 The Takeaway
In a world quick to judge, “Fo’ Da” is a soundtrack for those who choose love over labels, risk over safety, and emotion over ego.
It’s sensual. It's subversive. It’s Fo’ Da.

Ali Qazi a.k.a AQ - The founder of AQ Records.

Born into a Pashtun family. Data Centre Engineer by profession in Los Angeles. Music became my passion in late 1999 , when I built the techniques to play Rabab with non traditional music or western beats and synths. I have produced several songs  using Rabab with HipHop, RnB and Breakbeats. This major accomplishment has not been seen since.7th century when the first Rabab was made.

Today after many years of hard work and abundance of time devoted to
my hobby, a modern and revolutionary Pashto music production has been born. Being a Producer, Rapper and Rabab player, I have combined
numerous elements into my production, using eastern/western melodies to
introduce a new era in Pashto music industry i.e Pure Pashto Electronica/HipHop.

The mission here is to represent Pashto music with current industry's requirement and promote Pashto melodies with modern music specifically with Electronica and HipHop genres.

One of the major production element is to encourage decent and patriotic lyrics for the Pakhtun famlies knowing the conservative and patriotic Pashtun culture. 

AQ Records is currently producing
Pashto, English, Urdu and instrumentals in following genres:
Electro House, ProgressiveTrance, Techno, Electronica/Breakbeat, Rap, HipHop and RnB
Instrumental Rabab with Beats/Synths 
(Produced specifically for New Rabab Mangay Expereince)
