Mae: “So I called my friend Aditi and I asked her, ‘Hey I know that the mission of your crew, Ladies Compartment, is to work with and bring together female musicians and I was wondering if you’d like to do that on Maed in india”

Aditi: “Sure. Let’s do it!”

And thus was born The Ladies Special. We talk about why ladies toilets need more cubicles, not taking things lying down, releasing new music, and of course, boobs.

It’s all about that new music on Maed in India. I’m Mae and today my headliner is rapper/emcee/hip hop artist Enkore and out with his 2nd album Bombay Soul.

In light of the upcoming release of Zoya Akhtar’s film, Gully Boy - inspired by the lives of rappers Divine & Naezy - we went back into our Maed in India archives to Mae’s beautifully revealing interview with rapper Naved Shaikh aka Naezy. Though he felt more comfortable conversing in Hindi and Mae’s awkward language skills clearly weren’t up to par, that didn’t hinder the poignant and powerful conversation that ensued. From a local lad living in a Kurla chawl to a high-flying rapper gigging across the country and working with some of the best producers in India, they chatted about a young man’s rise to fame and how he struggled to do what he loves regardless of his success. Hear his performance as he raps acapella on this episode too.

 

Set List:

Aafat - (15:32 - 16:22)

Mere Gully Mein - (26:00 - 26:48)

Police Wala - (35:20 - 36:38)
