Baba Sehgal: India’s Rap Pioneer
Born Harjeet Singh Sehgal, Baba rose to fame in the 1990s with his unique style of blending Hindi lyrics with rap music. His breakthrough album ‘Thanda Thanda Pani’ (1992), which was inspired by Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby,’ became an instant hit and established him as a pioneer in the Indian music industry.
Sehgal has maintained his relevance over the decades by consistently reinventing himself and adapting to changing musical trends. From playback singing in Bollywood to appearing in reality shows and creating viral social media content, he has continued to entertain audiences across generations.
Maintaining Relevance Through Social Media
Baba Sehgal has effectively used social media platforms, particularly Instagram, to connect with fans and stay relevant in the contemporary music scene. His recent posts showcase his characteristic wordplay and rhythmic style that fans have come to love.
