An influential rapper known for his singles, it took setting up a record label—Bantai Studio—for Emiway Bantai to release a debut album. On Malum Hai Na, he blends mayhem with a distinct sneer. On “My Time”, the rapper lets loose with a prominently English hook as he confronts the competition. He cooks up a fresh EDM/hip-hop crossover with “Machayenge 3”, the third iteration of his 2019 runaway hit. He snarls his way through “Hai Tu Kaun” and sounds dauntless with his chopper flow on “Jawab De”.
