R.I.P. Kuldeep Manak (1949-2011)
I awoke to the sad news that Kuldeep Manak Ji had passed away, after battling with a bout of Pneumonia.
At one point or another, even the most casual Punjabi song listener has heard a Kuldeep Manak song, whether it be an original song of his, or a remix. His music inspired and touched the lives of millions over a span of multiple generations.
The Kaliyan Da Badshah may be gone, but his music will live on.
Kuldeep Manak – Heer Doli Beh Gai Kherian Di
Kuldeep Manak – Sahiban Bani Bharavan Di
Kuldeep Manak – Chithiyan
Kuldeep Manak – GT Road
Immortal Bhangra – Kachehari
Twin Beats – Manak Drops the Pressure
Panjabi MC – Sarwan Phuter
Panjabi MC – Yaar Mera Chad Giya
Panjabi MC – Laila
Panjabi MC – Muthiar Tooh
Thoughts and condolences go to Manak Ji’s family and loved ones.

Garry Sandhu Update
Stemming from this previous story about Garry Sandhu being detained and then released by the UK Border Agency. Garry recently jumped on facebook and posted of being home now with his mum and dad, as well as another post where he states that he is missing some of the new friends he made at the detention centre.
It’s safe to say that Garry is home now, but whether he is out of the UK Border Agency’s hair is still in question.

Garry Sandhu Detained by UK Border Agency
Yep, that’s Garry Sandhu chunking up the deuce as he was detained by the UK Border Agency.
Punjab2000.com broke the story a few hours ago, and have received a statement by the UK Border Agency:
“We can confirm an Indian national was detained yesterday in the West Midlands area. When someone is found not to have a right to remain in the UK, we expect them to leave voluntarily. If they fail to do so, we will seek to enforce their removal.”
Let’s hope the matter is resolved swiftly and Garry gets back to making more hits.
UPDATE:
Official Statement made by Garry Sandhu via Roach Killa’s Facebook Fanpage
After recent false accusations made against me, I still continue to do what I love best in providing the fans that I love dearly with my music. I can not control peoples actions and I am at the top of my game expect haters to hate, but in the end the truth sets any man free! And this is what you will see in the coming days. For I cannot lie to those I love or to my fans they are most important in my life! As an individual I was taught to be cautious now after allowing negative people into my life, that have taken advantage. Thank you for those who have supported me and I will not stop doing what I enjoy!!! Love you all and be safe… Garry Sandhu xxx
UPDATE (October 31, 2011):
As reported on the Noreen Khan Show on the BBC Asian Network:
Garry Sandhu is still in custody at Gatwick Airport after his “right to stay” in the country had expired.
Currently, the Home Office is reviewing the case, and will make a decision regarding his status by the end of today.
UPDATE (November 1, 2011):
Official Statement made by Garry Sandhu’s Facebook Page
**OFFICIAL NEWS GARRY SANDHU HAS NOT BEEN DEPORTED HIS DEPORTATION HAS BEEN REMOVED AND HIS CASE IS NOW GOING TO BE REVIEWED** THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND GOD BLESS!!!!
Make of that what you will. I’m thinking there is still a chance he can be sent away later. But at least he’s been released of the UKBA’s custody.

DJs Inc Studio Session
I’ve been repping these dudes on the site since ’08. So I was glad to see this video show up on my twitter stream.
As if the music wasn’t sick enough, these guys filmed it with some artistic angles which just beckon me.
I guess we’ll be hearing this on RKZ’ upcoming mixtape?
