Taj-E Featuring Bee2 “Jalebi”
I’m not entirely sure what Taj-E and Bee2 were thinking when they came up with this one. Is it a dance floor hit? Possibly, for the fact of it’s sheer silliness (in a fun and make-you-wanna-yell-out-Jalebi sort of way).
The brothers (who are known to market their work very well) pushed this video hard over twitter, and even though they may or may not have succeeded in accomplishing what they wanted, the video is once again of high quality. Which is something they have been known to bring to the table consistently.

Dipps Bhamrah “Tu Nachdi”
Dipps Bhamrah drops his second video from his upcoming album “Project: BHANGRA”. It’s a catchy number which gives off a Dilshad Akhtar type of vibe.
As always, you can get yourself a copy off iTunes.

Panjabi MC “Bari Barsi” (12 Months)
Panjabi MC as you may know, dropped his latest summer anthem “Bari Barsi” this past Thursday, and it rocketed straight into the top 100 UK iTunes charts (so far settling at no. 89)
Lately, whenever PMC releases a song, I can’t help but think that the music is just different enough to make people buy the song, but at the same time, it sounds almost like his previous few songs. Case in point, I played it in my car this past Friday for one of my boys as we were going for lunch, and as soon as the music started, he mockingly started singing the lyrics to “Moorni”.
My spidey senses also started tingling a few weeks ago, when a certain Producer from the UK tweeted something to the sentiment of a Producer he looks up to has the same sound in most of his songs, and that he should start to switch up his sound.
With all of this in mind, I still think Panjabi MC is one of the best Producers out there (obviously). His songs still have a certain polish to them that other Producers still aren’t capable of matching. I can’t help but liken P’s skills to the rest of the people in the Bhangra game as a Toyota compared to a Lexus. Yes, the Toyota is well made, all the fundamentals are there, but a Lexus is just an overly nicer polished vehicle.
Moving on to the video, I’m glad someone finally used Bhangra Empire in a video. They have been working extremely hard on their performances over the years, and I’m glad that they are getting – even more – worldwide exposure.
Also, the fact that Ashok Gill made it on to the video is also a fantastic showcase.
Support the track, and get your copy from iTunes.

Pavitar Singh Pasla & Tru-Skool “Beant Satwant Da Badla”
Tru-Skool has done it again.
Now you may play the video and read along to the translation and then think something doesn’t add up. How does a Dharmik song sound so catchy?
Well first off, that is the essence of any Tru-Skool beat. The man just keeps it gangster.
But thinking further, I believe this is a good strategy to employ to educate the youths about Sikh history, as well as our present day trials and tribulations.
You may say the music has a hip-hop beat, and what’s up with that? But wasn’t hip-hop used to relay messages of an unjust world for African Americans?
Is this our version of “Fight the Power”?
All proceeds from the song will go to Khalsa Aid to help support the Shaheed families.
Buy from iTunes.

I’m not one to post promos, but this beat harks back to a time when Puff and Big ruled the east coast.
And come on now, introducing Jay Status? Bhangraw fam should already know a bit about him.

His collaborations with Ashok Gill continue to be epic.
