Maanu and Zain Peerzada two of our earliest supporters return to On the Mic after several lockdowns and more importantly together they have been captaining the ship that is the Pakistani Music Industry. Maanu and Zain Peerzada talk shop and take it all in of the growth they both have made since their last appearances On the Mic. 

Maanu drops some juicy hints on his next album drop and even hints of the one that shall succeed it! Zain Peerzada the shredder maestro himself digs deep with us into his new kingdom of music videos that he reigns supreme over with Luke Azariah. From incredible videos made for the likes of Talal Qureshi, Rizzy Rozeo, Towers and of course Maanu himself, Flux Media (the name of Zain and Luke's join venture) are leading the storm with visual flair unmatched by anyone else.

This is one of our longest and fun filled episodes and you do not want to miss out on this!
