Pune’s hard-hitting rapper, record producer and songwriter Sambata, born Pratham Sunil Jogdand, is gearing up for his debut single with Def Jam Recordings India. The iconic emcee, who first teased the rap record earlier this month, is set to make his major label debut after releasing a slew of genre-defining bodies of work independently.
First teased by Def Jam Recordings India and Sambata themselves, the coveted rap label has now confirmed that Sambata’s major label debut “Sod Lacharicha Paksh” is slated to release on July 20th 2023. Reportedly, the track is produced by Sambata’s frequent collaborator and marquee record producer Khakee.
Def Jam India further shared the track’s exclusive artwork. Check it out here.
As reported earlier, Sambata is one of the most influential Hip-Hop artists on the come-up. With a brief yet affecting discography, Sambata has established his stature as a ruthless gangsta rap emcee and represents Pune’s street codes through provocative Marathi vernacular.
Over the years, Sambata has released four independent rap records – “Pinnak”, “Kaarte Nibaar”, “Nako Raste Changle” and his sprawling debut “Palti Fire”. Through incendiary lyricism and ghetto rap records, Sambata is one of the finest emcees to emerge from Pune.
As for Def Jam India, the record arrives amidst a slew of flagrant releases by the converted rap label. Most recently, Def Jam India linked up with Kolkata’s hard-hitting emcee J Trix on “Gundagardi” featuring Ikka. It was preceded by Tricksingh’s major label debut “Shor”.
Look out for ‘Sod Lacharicha Paksh’ by Sambata on July 20th 2023.
