words in a minute!
Mumbai, 12th June’20:KIDSHOT, a 22-yr old
rapper from Mumbai, known for his fast-paced rapping style a.k.a chopper rap
has signed to Mass Appeal India, which is known for amplifying India’s
burgeoning hip-hop culture on a global scale. The young talented rapper is set

with Mass Appeal India.
‘BhotKuch’ sheds
light on KIDSHOT’s journey within theIndian independent hiphop music world.
This track is about his hustle and determination to never give up on his
passion for rap music despite all odds.
Known for his
energetic and one-of-a-kind signature‘chopper flow’,Kidshot’s ‘BhotKuch’ is
sure to resonate with the hip hop community. The high-octane hiphop beats in
the track is a build-up for a motivating crescendo, as KIDSHOT not only
recounts his personal struggles but bares all through his unique flow and bars,
his impressive lyrical ability and some pretty witty wordplay.
Expressing
his excitement on the release of ‘BhotKuch’, KIDSHOT commented, “Life hasn't been same since i heard Illmatic
by Nas. I was just 14 and that album inspired me in so many ways, but I never
thought by 22 i would be associating with him and Mass Appeal India. All my
listeners already know how much I idolize him, but these were mere dreams. Dreams
that everyonelaughed on when I said this could happen one day. It was just my
homies who believed in me and did everything selflessly. I had no monetary
support,no manager, nothing. We learnt everything ourselves and my #KidFam
community made my songs reach the right ears by sharing it everywhere possible.
This is just the beginning and I’m truly grateful. KIDSHOT further describes
his influences for his chopper flow style, “Whenever I used to write and
rap, I automatically used to rap fast, which is also called “Chopper Flow or
Chopper Rap”. And slowly, as I discovered rappers like Tech n9ne, Twista,
Eminem, Twisted Insane, and I knew this is what exactly I was meant for.”
Sharing his thoughts on ‘BhotKuch’
Devraj Sanyal, MD & CEO of UMG, India
& South Asia said, “We found KIDSHOT through a social media
portal and got in touch with him. His demos that he sent in blew everyone’s
minds and we all agreed he was one of the most talented and authentic rappers
we’d come across. His story of his parents, his childhood, his struggle really
moved me and that gave me a clear view of why this kid is this gifted. He is
definitely a superstar of the future and his chopper flow is something to watch
out for. From me, Peter Bittenbender and our teams we’d like to welcome KIDSHOT
to the Mass Appeal India family with the release of ‘BhotKuch’.”
