I made love to J Dilla that night Only if I could tell you how it felt so right made love to J Dilla that night Only if I could tell you... Fuck Yall Aint Ready. His Brazilian Groove got me sweaty. While I was heading to perform at this place bandra base. Bumping Come Get It Boombap oriented Straight up, arrived on the stage Sudden ergasmic wave upon all people. shaking their asses upon his African Rhythms even the Jaylib ones I was surprised rather amazed. How the hell these lost new skool kids are all praises Through the microfone I was chasing his soul, through the music that I pose, And I suppose man I toasted a kiss, held him by his kick and snare. Got myself caught up in his wicked stare. And I Don’t Know how to come out. freestyling some dope ish making the crowd shout vibe out to those killer mellow beats that I crown. I shake it down letting you know how I break it down. rico sauve bossa nova - dunno what that means but what a beat for sure. My man spok beats knows the deal. Real heads listen to real shit knowing how to really feel. Cause, made love to Hip Hop that night. Aint nobody in the crowd knew what it was like I was wet down there while I was acting all right Jay Dee RIP you turn my intellect on with your music so bright, word, with your beats so tight. Spok Beats MC Kaur

What a feeling Hah! musical healing Beginning to get into my veins and revealing, the funky inner self. Reflection of my past, glimpse of my future, pinch of illusion u believing like why not did not Know it was so easy to go n hate u buggers so I chose the tuff Path i laugh at buggers who acting rough, Grasp what I am saying, weed that’s more like passed enough, Already paying attention like way too much Chill with my radiant stuff, that grace that no cunt licker seeks for, Its Manmeet Kaur painted with the Funk n jazz Bumpin Razzmattaz up in my ipod Word to your good lord Im more that happy to be that “ out goes the odd” Fat belly, shaking in that delhi type of sound That rap ladies who love to "rap on" on a daily. Well maybe… If u wanna break a rhyme or two. Holla soon cause m out by tomorrow noon

Lets go inside the life of a writer, handful of skills and surrounded by the biter. No way you can hide us we bring hues to letter. Street is the canvas when you work for no cheddar but love, and open minds to learn from those above. Artistic techniques is what I am talking of!! Expand horizon of your art to ring the change. Hip Hop is innovation let them fucking tag it strange cause Tough is the life of a writer Nothing but a fucking vandal for the sighter Bombing the walls everywhere making streets look brighter "Real Life Fighters"

I kind of bring the smile upon my face with an ease so I stay pleased. Sipping it cold while I eat The bigger piece of the cheese Least under the pressure since I am anti- treasure that you seek for Its Manmeet Kaur painted with the Funk and Jazz I mean the raw platter boombap The John Klemmerish tact ,the “Oh, this is that” The buzz that you get even before you take a spliff The feeling of self healing through nothing but music. Makes me lay back, relax, damn ain’t no plans to make So the realest part of my soul comes out for them to correlate with Now will the Smith air – the- bell no hell with it! See consider it done when I want to stay with it. Yup I did it, doing it and I shall continue. And might be slow in getting that monetary revenue But you know the deal, You’re supposed to do what you’re meant to Vision brings the change or monopoly will end you. So I jump off the couch, pick up the pad and pen Bring it along and then, meet a couple of friends, To bend to a vibe understand the tribe I belong to, Can’t stay back even if I want to… So all I am saying is chill man Don’t get off your field and do what you gots to do Cause you never know what is next Don’t call yourself the best Since the rest got skills too. Lets talk about music So what's up with it and how am I using it t reach a level wherein I choose it to be my lifeline. Man its all about the time. And how I make it happen every time I break a rhyme. Kick a bar, sing a hook, bring the shook ones to shame and I do want the fame but not that easily reachable way I like this queen called "Struggle" Tribulations and troubles, enables me to understand the fact that I am amidst the ugliest MCs I want to resist, punch one or two with my fist. Make a better than doper list. For you all to bop to - this is that HIP HOP dude. And want to bring out to my people who rap alot too. Cause All I am saying is chill man Don’t get off your field and do what you gots to do Cause you never know what is next Don’t call yourself the best Since the rest got skills too.

Blessing your day, already so you don’t have to pray Off your facebook people here is what I have to say Cause this type of shit happens everyday aint no denying Truth comes at a reasonable rate so do buy it. But don’t buy the crap they serve on T.V. That show of reality That Saas – Bahu – Biwi Get off that! Fabricated news on a repeat , that’s wack! So you know you get Hip Hop in your Bollywood tracks. It doesn’t happen, I am telling you a Total Mismatch Had to go and dispatch myself from that crowd That doesn’t make a sense of what it talks about. Simple as that for that me and my girls don’t get down yea? Chose to stay calm, perform and have an impact, Don’t know how to act so they don’t know what to add, Yo we recognize the facts so the moment I attack your intellect, This ain’t no Rat-ta-ta-tat man we, Chill the vibe out, Street smart queens Rock The Fresh out! We stop thee cut the edge out! To flee funk obsolete be ones I refer budamunk to, Healthy music ain’t no junk dude!! Liberating souls I see myself getting locked up People that I see in the vicinity mocked but the Pros and Cons truly got me bring this on. Some feel me, others b like , “Yo what she talking on” No too fond of your autotuned hooks, You way too G looks. To be exact you’re not in my good books. I rather, Chill with women of a flavor The true art savior, for you your own Sweet Lord Save You! Witness the rest as some claim to be the best Admit your level throw the load up off your chest. While you getting deceased I see those and these You’re still supporting hypocrites while I shout the peace out. I am about to bacon down ones who act chicken. Self Reliance, confidence in every word written. I leave them smitten Getting at you for you’re getting nowhere. Slumbering since birth like you don’t care. I beg to differ, mean its all good if you want to spliff a reefer But don’t be irksome to let them know that’s all you need lift up Just brush up your skills and then come talk to us. Hereby funky moves while there lies your fuss, shit’s disgusting! For how long do sisters bear wack songs and see fake moves? Got to set the right groove! You all about the crown while we bounce to it! Kaur X Amby X Dizy, now that’s how we do it.

I am hoping to see you stand high Holding down to the roots, left behind this generation Keeping up with what’s in vogue my thoughts in acquisition Amidst the truth running loose of wisdom Living impatient! Trying to get beneath your lies oh we rise at the price of the freedom. Society where co operation is a complex operation. So they bug out of the very idea to stay profound. So bound to stay confine. Observe the find line between their motives that makes me write up this motif Holding down to the truth Knew you would be uncomfortable! To see me show how ideas that you carry are unstable. Enabling the label to be it. I mean a superhit way to brainwash visionaries who got their vision blurry. So I curry you all a furious call Out for all the Emcees who claim to be free but really need to be FREE! Behind tyrannical bars now what do you see? (Can it be?) I am hoping to see you, stand high, Mentally, like you meant to be! Wisdom runs deep, let it flow, flow with clarity. Let me see you rise, Let me, let me see you rise….. An action of wisdom, to give it back the way it came to one. Observe how literate my people have become They don’t know the difference between what’s in and what is mean. Living the life of “somehow” where is the reverence now? Hoping against hope yet confined within the limits Combined with the digits Awesomely timid but you know how it is You want to sing love but caught up in the bizz But don’t you fall questioning your own birth We all come to co exist on the planet earth Elevate and celebrate life for what its worth Actualate your dreams you know you're not the first one are ya I know you don’t care for me but I do care for you!! I am hoping to see you, stand high, Mentally, like you meant to be! Wisdom runs deep, let it flow, flow with clarity. Let me see you rise, Let me, let me see you rise…..

I opened up my eyes early in the morning, had a bad dream so i forget to yawn and its like Damn do I get effected these days too quickly? maybe! too vulnerable to emotions that cause commotion right in my third so, do I devote myself to the free flow of time? See I just got married and I really can't confine myself to the fact that I am. And explore relationships, I know I can't just quite! So I relax a bit, make myself to fit in the situation of high expectation and I don't want to mess it up, bless shit up with a smile on my face! Propagate at faster pace, homie now that's a waste. Almost like I forgot how to face isolation while I know my mom is far away, when with her I was like "Mom, go away" Way above the sky I got a pride of my own. Late night bringing my drunk ass home. Blacking out i front of my mom making her cry, "An Indian unmarried girl boozing out with just guys? OMG she is not shy" To go perform for free in the club, on the streets, same old kurti! Going ahead and just fucking with bass Waking up to jazz in the morning leaving no trace I am back to the weekdays. Doing absolutely nothing just wasting my time, and now I am working 9 to 9 just to earn a dime! See you need not complain all the time but be about it. Understand the cons feel pro and say I got it. When the family is beautiful... and everybody's wealthy Fuck your pebble fights ain't nothing that you can tell me I possess love and only love for those who love me. Constructive vibe while I yearn to learn from those above me. See I am a family girl and got compassion for my people. Still got hidden secrets do things that are illegal. Now here lies the crux where the Karma penetrates so she does her thing upon me yes I let her regulate. Cause we all are human beings who try to fit into others' lives at the same time divide each other and create tribes... We are marvellous Human race is marvellous... I got an itch inside my ear from what I heard from my peers Shallowness of intellect almost brought me to tears. See we all want to propagate by forgetting ancestors Don’t reap the rich seeds and expect the nectar So ... wake the fuck up face the music my friend Was not a silly enthu to get married early and I don’t repend an inch and you can see it through my eyes Every morning when I wake up I realize!

Avi – Man, why you always trippin? Manmeet- Cause you always lying man now why the fuck you lying? Avi – cause you always bullshitting we both want the same things Manmeet – But we go about it different. The same old battle between men and women Manmeet – well dunno how to trust you Avi – c’mon girl you know its just you. Besides I knw you lust too Manmeet – But Not with them other fools. Avi - Sometimes I love u Manmeet - Other times its like fuck you!! The same old battle between men an d women God damn….. don’t even know where I am I forget whatever happened just for us to begin again. But let me make it clear enough is enough my man Now whats the fucking deal that keeps us away as friends. I make the next move show love and understand U got ur things cooking, now how your plans looking, And where do I exist. Tell me for long I persist. Never ask u for nothing, I ain't got no fucking list. Do I? just some good love making Maybe a better tone to say things you dislike in me It’s the best I can be. Live the rest of my life with thee. For once open ur eyes to see. How hard it is for me. See u can either be a true player or a truth sayer. Don’t even bother… Imma just stay real and stay up. Keep paying the price of falling in love. We sleep together every night but forgot how to even hug! (Believe that?) Its just a frozen time. Lost is all that’s mine I ponder How to make it up to you. Tell me what I am supposed to do? Feeling bad cause I have been that close to you. Is it love that we have? What was it for you ? was it nothing that we had???

Travelling through the sounds, appears my soul, Carrying in my pad all the stories untold. Equipped with the flava of the funk as you see, Making you all believe better quit and not deceive!! If ya don’t even know what Hip hop is Obliviously coated with the shine of the biz Clapping asses in the club quite massive as preferred. The faster do they jerk, and that’s that. So called hip hop djs playing mtv top tens Making me wish that I was born in the back when period curious to know, more like furious to show The real deal, so close to the feel, Make me flee up to the sky, I deny to come back home unless its ready and so is the microfone time is what I give my foremost preference, When it comes to bringing something with utmost relevance. WORD! Take it from me, Gotta take it homie…right before u come with a proposal better show me, skills we talk collab, perfectly consoled at. Make melanchonies on fly beats make them say Oh that?! You know what I need the beat for More often then not I visit the clubs alone, Sit on a corner sip on the beer as I hear them clones Playing that odd shit, they calling it raw shit. Progress nowhere to be seen I m like aw shit. Now can we make music direct from the heart? Having sex on the dance floor is all they start to do So I take over, mentally sober, letting your ego find its way to me so I hover. It and the individuals who need knw what youth needs. I start killing the beat sowing the seeds of hip hop, to the crowd as I feed. Wack MCs better get down on their knees. Its like an old firm new client Word spliffing giant i am high so why crying appliance of rhyme say hi, Im trying to find reason applying it right. Now that I am fine and I am still unsigned and I am still unsigned WORD! Take it from me, Gotta take it homie…right before u come with a proposal better show me, skills we talk collab, perfectly consoled at. Make melanchonies on fly beats make them say Oh that?!

Young body old soul like a veteran Hop off the fence get into what you have never been through , whatever! Another complication in life like what do I do? Writers block then I am back to joining the dots I blot it out. Like today is the only day I can speak, Finally got the inspiration that I needed Seeds I sow off the platter I behold, Modified cause I won’t tell you what I was told, Ill tell you what’s unsold, untouched, spiritual. Third eye visual a pure metaphysical approach Since Hip Hop is something you cannot coach, Originality is what she rose, Across the lands brought the minds together, Told me how to step up, making it happen alone just to keep my rep up! I belong to no region or religion off course, Just fueling my mind with this musical source. Like that ya’ll I often try to woo the people that I love the most, That’s why I bring this song reaching coast to coast. See you on the opposite side of the stage I say, I go perform for free if the club managers don’t pay Right by the bay I see the mothers bring their kids, Gets me a high man its so hard to resist I got this Beautiful sight people with ears that want to listen, Consider it done when they witness what they have been missing. A war of resistance shall I say, To realize I am not able to hold the MIC I am afraid, But now that you know I am almost at it , please underrate. So that I don’t remain like a candle without a flame. Across the land brought the minds together Told me how to step up, Making it happen alone just to keep my rep up! I belong to no tribe that you created Remorseless Sensing your pulse with this musical source. Like that ya’ll

about

Manmeet Kaur, the first female MC of India, works on an attempt in this era where Hip Hop falls prey to the misogyny and stereotype of every form, in this case, the term Bahu (meaning daughter in law).

Highly and entirely derived from her personal life, Kaur intends to break the shackle of the worst social stigmas, that more often than not, she herself has had faced in different phases of time and on different lands.

So go ahead, hear the tales of a hip hop bahu and what fun it is when you question whats imposed and choose the opposite and sensible.

It was a pleasure to work with Kazi from states (Quasimoto,Lootpack crew), Figub Brazlevic from Berlin(Krekpek), Nevuro (Texas), Rokem from LA (Chamber Records), brother Pro2Kon, Spok Beats (Chamber Records), and most of all....J DILLA!
