Ra da Punjabi Rapper

in better with tablas

In my view, there is no other language more suited to the cadence of gangsta rap than Punjabi. Watch any movie by Sultan Rahi or Mustafa Qureshi and you will encounter the crew chillax in da hood wid a fly ba-donka-donk, rollin’ in da benjamins and da bling-bling. Of course, some wanksta will start buggin’ or diss da haps. Oh shizzle. Homie ain’t gotz no choice but to busta cap in dat ass wid his k. Shit goes down but ya caynt go against a thug like Rahi. In the end, the homies fire up some shwag and get back to P.H.D.

Ok. I am done. Also, I apologize.

Out of Oakland, which gave us Too $hort (the classic Shorty the Pimp stayed in my car stereo far longer than polite society allows such things), comes Ra aka Raja aka Bohemia, the Punjabi Rapper. And I say, Why did this not happen sooner!? He raps in Punjabi (Ek adhay sootay nal menoo chrdhi nahi bhang), talks about blunts, hos, interfaith dialogue, pakistan-india cultural unity, faith, hot-roddin, pimpin, and some fly-ass hoochie-mama desi shorties.

Visit his website where you can read about his “journey through true stories of pride and prejudice, giving and greed, poverty and wealth, life, love and murder – desi style.”

updated: [Jan 3, 2004] Bohemia writes in about what he will be doing in the next few months:
Bohemia chats live on air with dj Sanj on BBC Asian Network’s popular, Adil Ray show.

I’m from Vancouver BC (home of Desi Gangsters)
Theres more Desi gangsters here than anywhere else in the world. I don’t blame the guy from toronto who thinks like isn’t like this in canada. I dont even blame those wannabe surrey jaks for tryin to be hard. But I was born & raised in vancouver BC & let me tell you something … It’s a whole new game out here. We live the desi life out here period.
IT STARTED HERE for fuk sakes. much props to bohemia for not forgetting his roots or where he’s from. This guy is real! Thanks brother for analyzing the desi lifestyle in my city & yours.
But its not a city thing. It’s a worldwide thing.
Desi’s Unite Sikh,Muslim,Hindu !!!!
I’ll probably get trash talked by some fakass bitch cyber internet thug so heres a link to my surroundings…

129 fuck this shit March 21, 2006 at 5:50 pm

fuck this whole bohemia shit. he got hot ass songs but tha nigga aint gonna be on the fuckin T.V. how tha hell people gonna know about him. like couple days ago i was askin my desi people if they know who is Bohemia they said( what tha fuck is Bohemia ) but when I let them listen to his CD they said that some hot shit. speacilly (kali denail)

if bohemian wants to get known than he got to come on T.V.like how the spanish rapper are donin there thing. bohemia got to rep us.

my point is if wants to get known he have to come on MTV OR BET or other american channels

so american people can know him to and other desi poeple too.

RAPPER QUESTIONED IN CONNECTION TO SF MURDER

By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent

IBA News, InsideBayArea.com, Oakland, ca.

Rumors are circulating that the SF Police Department brought rapper Bohemia in for questioning, after an associate

who was driving Bohemia’s car,was pulled over and arrested for possession of an unregistered semi-automatic firearm.

Sources say the weapon may have been used to commit a murder which occurred in San Francisco in June of 2001. That murder

was believed to have been in retaliation for the execution-style killing of Bohemia’s close friend, Suresh Mangoli, which

took place just three days earlier. Bohemia recently returned from a press conference in London to promote his new album

“Pesa Nasha Pyar”, which translates to “Money Drugs Love”. He was spotted back stage at Indian pop singers’ Raghav

and Juggy D concert in Oakland, but when asked about the rumor he declined to comment.

His producer SHA One spoke on his behalf

“This story is non-sense. That situation was very unfortunate, but no one in The Outfit including Bohemia has any knowledge

of who was involved. A friend was lost unexpectedly and we had nothing to do with any type of so-called retaliation.

People see a rapper gaining success and they automatically want to associate him with criminal activity and tarnish his image.”

Bohemia’s camp claims to have no knowledge of the incident, but in 2004 he recorded a tribute song for Mr. Mangoli

which accounts in detail, a vengeful retaliation against those who killed him. The song, though never

officially released, was leaked on to the internet several months ago. Sgt. Neville Gittens, a spokesman for the San

Francisco Police Department said that he is aware of the song and will consider using it as evidence in the now

re-opened case.

Bohemia is a fake. I know him AND his cousin Oscar. He aint no Punjabi, he is Christian. His real name is Roger David Is that even Sikh or, uh D.E.S.I.? This dude aint even from Oakland! The muthafucka from Fremont or some shit where all the rich Indian kids live. As far as I’m concerned this fool is a fraud and could never step in the hood without someone to protect his boney ass. If I see this fool I will punk his ass and make him shit his fuckin baggy ass Ecko pants.

Aye Bohemia,

Rap artist Bohemia denied entry to Canada

Rapper Bohemia, who was scheduled to appear live at the Croatian Cultural Center in Vancouver, was refused entry to Canada on Friday and detained for 8 hours in a holding cell by Immigration Canada, said the concert promoter.

“The version we got from Immigration Canada was vague because of their confidentiality and privacy laws,” said Jhind of Dream Time Records LA, who was accompanying The Punjabi Rapper.

“Bohemia and his entourage arrived Friday at 10 a.m. from Oakland. Every member of his entourage was allowed in except him. All the paperwork was fine.

“Bohemia felt he was waiting too long. You could tell he was getting aggravated,” Jhind said.

“He was asked a few questions by the immigration officer and was detained and put under watch. Then he was escorted out at 7:00 p.m. the same night.”

Through an unconfirmed source, The Punjabi Rapper might have been denied entry into Canada because a criminal charge was laid against him two years ago in the United States.

An official at Immigration Canada said he could not discuss the specifics of individual cases, but confirmed the rapper was denied entry into the country.

“Normally, someone coming here as an entertainer is referred to us,” said Jean Edmonds, manager of Immigration Canada for Vancouver. “I can’t comment on whether he has (a criminal record) or not, but individuals with a criminal record would have problems entering unless they had prior consent.”

Officials would not comment on whether the rapper was detained at the Vancouver airport, but they confirmed, “individuals who are denied entry are sometimes held until the next available flight.”

At the Croatian Cultural Center in Vancouver where the much anticipated debut appearance was to take place, an announcement was made for the crowd, followed by tracks from Bohemia’s latest album blasting through the loud speakers. The Punjabi rapper’s follow up Sunday performance in Edmonton was also cancelled.

Jhind said Bohemia was arrested two years before he tried to enter Canada, but was not sure what he has been charged with.

“It appeared as it the Canadian Officials had his whole Rap Sheet — it had all his charges listed on it — I guess they were holding him on that and questioning him on that.

They kept him in the immigration interview for a few hours.”

The 26-year old Bohemia is widely recognized as the pioneer of ‘Desi-Hip-Hip’. His latest album ‘Pesa Nasha Pyar’ [Money, Drugs, Love] under the Music Mogul Universal Records India and Ishq Records UK was released in April 2006 and remain in the Top Ten for 7 weeks in India.

Many recent performers brought to the city from the U.S. by local promoters have faced hassles at the Vancouver International Airport, including Eminem and DJ Clue.

“Bohemia’s management is in contact with the Canadian promoters in efforts to organize a makeup date,” Jhind said. “However, I firmly believe there is a red flag on Bohemia’s name. He may not get into Canada even with a minister’s pardon due to heighten security by Immigration Canada and given his [Bohemia] record.

Many eager fans paid the VIP $65 looking forward to meet the king of Punjabi Rap in-person.

YO ppls need to check out InnoVAsian, three desi rappers from the UK.

They are on another level in terms of lyrics and they make the dopest tracks I’ve heard coming out from desi mans…fo real, sum of the stuff they touch on in their album is killer.

Im big on hip-hop n desi music, and int ever seen another act with more chances to crossover n represent us all in the mass music market (unlike jay sean+raghav clowns did looking like cheap rip-offs of existing artists)…

Check em out on http://www.myspace.com/innovasianuk

oh, n they got a rap in urdu…pure poetry!

braaaaaaaaaap!!!!

DESI MOBB

LEARN TO RAP:

Ima a desi rapper,

but i aint fighting for recognition.

If you push the wrong button,

you’ll be fighting for reputation.

I dont diss no body,

but i can get with the slang.

I dont really carry guns,

but ma fist goes bang

At the moment these rappers rap

critics call them the best,

these rappers only seen shit

from the comfort of their nest.

Its best if you rappers rest,

and give rappin a break.

Go become a doctor

and give back what you take.

Bohemia and Pakman,

can take their rap up their back man.

Take their crap,

and put it up on a trash can

Desi Mobb is ma name,

a.k.a KanKushon,

Hide yo kids behind yo back,

cuz i can get with the cussin.

I dont fuck wid ma cousins,

I dont rub against manikens,

and I aint at war,

with these illegal Americans.

Jus showin some love,

to the desi page,

DesiMobb holla back,

got the crazy gage.

OVER AND OUT!!

198 Da 1 and Only January 27, 2007 at 2:59 am

Damn,

I think I came on dis page too late. Well I’m Paki and Muslim and DAMN Proud of it, but there’s a alot to say. Well, what ya’ll said iz true, I grew up in hoods my whole lyf, from LA to Ny and FL and the Chi and there’s mo cities in btwn. no lie, but the point iz all minorities need to stick together, fuck the white people and lets prove we can do somethin too, than just fight. Shit, I no not every1 haz to luv Boehima or Pakman or any of dat shti, but fo once can the minorities become something to prove dat brown (all shades, lol) is strong and we don’t need no fuckin white superpower ruling us? We desi’s, muslims, etc. have more in common with latinos, blacks, asians, etc. than some damn white bitches. Yea I have my gripes about Bohemia, like any other rapper, but I gotta give him props. He’s tryin to rep da real desis dat r out here. I just wish he’d rep his paki self more. I would luv to hear n see him on urban stations (not no fuckin mainstream) and it helps dat hes really fine. 1 of my girls whos black iz all into him now, she doesn’t no a damn word of punjabi but shes like damnnn, dat nigga is fine . point iz, hes appealing for all minorities I think and reppong wit most desis live like in america (and overseas), just like most minoroites, in da hood. Lets try and make it betta, fo ourselves and future generations, but dont EVA forget who u r, where u came from and not be some fuckin token desi for da damn media.
