Days of Bhangra Producers Lives: Where Diamond gets Yoda-like
Seems like most Bhangra Producers are on twitter these days. With tweets ranging from album updates, what they’re doing to pass time, or how good they are at cooking, twitter is a little telescope into their day to day life. However every now and then, they may also paint an even more interesting picture of what is running through their mind. This feature helps you chew on what is happening in Bhangra Producers lives.

Notorious Jatt “Ramaal”
After this debacle, Notorious Jatt finally got something right.
The video was shot in Kakas home village of Bhaini, Punjab, and Guvy Heer did well to pay tribute to Kaka.
The song is from the forthcoming album “Note Varna”, which would have been Kaka Bhainiawala’s first full UK Bhangra release.
Ramaal is available on iTunes now.

Juz D “Mast Jawani” Video
This guy has a H Dhami-esque voice going for him, but that doesn’t mean the song appeals to me. In fact, if this instrumental was available, I’d gladly pay for that over the song.
Who said there is a lack of good vocalists in our industry? Oh, I think that was me.
Sigh.

DJ Tally “Nakrah” Video
DJ Tally hooks up with Nirmal Sidhu on his first ever video for his single “Nakrah.”
Standard Notorious Jatt type of music hunna? Albeit, I like it a bit better than the Danny C track.
The single can be purchased exclusively on iTunes on February 26th, 2010.

Notorious Jatt “Khanda” Video
Where to begin?
I received the promo for this song two weeks ago, but I didn’t want to put it up until I had formulated an opinion. I thought if the video was released soon enough, it would clear up some questions.
After watching the video, I can see they tried their best to justify the lyrics of the song.
The track is typical Notorious Jatt hype music, but the lyrics still irk me. In no way am I a conservative shrew, but I just cannot get past the chorus.
“Asal Peshaan Panjabi Dhee Gal Paiya Khanda”
“You can recognise a true Panjabi as they have a Khanda around their neck”
Huh?
The line has caused quite a stir, as they’re bringing religion into what will inevitable be perceived as a club anthem.
Now I know there is a lot of people out there that do rock a Khanda on their chain, or in their rear view mirror, or are tatted up with one.
But look at this:
Not all Panjabis are Sikhs AND Not all Sikhs are Panjabis
See what I did right there? But that is my Western thought.
Talking to someone from the East, and they simply tell you, it doesn’t matter what you’re background is, there are all types of people living in Panjab that wear a Khanda around their neck, so I shouldn’t take the chorus so literally.
I can’t do it.
I think the wording is wrong, even within the context they are attempting to display in the video. They could have done some things in the video to clarify their position more, but instead they fudged it.
I haven’t heard Notorious Jatt or Nirmal Sidhu offer any justification to the lyrics yet, but stay tuned. This may get ugly.
The album “Still Livin’ It Up,” is set to contain a lineup of;
Kulvinder Johal, Preet Mahadipuria, Ranjit Mani, Pargat Khan, Kaka Bhaniawala and more.
The first single “Khanda” is set to release on iTunes on May 22.
After listening to the music of the track, I get the feeling like I’ve heard this beat before, and I think I have. Notorious has been producing for a couple of other singers (like Juz’D,) and I think the beats were similar on that album.
The label tried to make it a point to say that this is Notorious’ first solo album since three years ago. I guess they don’t want us to get confused, although it’s hard when everything sounds the same.

Juz’D “Breakthru” Medley Video
Juz’d recently released his album “Breakthru.” Produced by Notorious Jatt, the album is set to be released under the Planet Records label in North America. The two songs in the medley are “Punjabiz In Da Club” and “Yaar.” Is that a 50 Cent Sample I hear?
