Amdavad‘s rap provocateur Dhanji has released the much awaited deluxe edition of his massive debut studio album “Ruab”.
With 11 new tracks across a distinct Disc 2, the “Ruab (Director’s Cut)” features a slew of Gujarati and Hindi rap records and notorious titles such as the previously released “Keh Do Ki Yeh Jhoot Hai”, “The Ballad Of Denial & My Worldly Identity” and “Bimari, Magaj Ka Pt. 2”.
For the Gujarat-born emcee, the LP arrives after a slew of collaborations too. Most recently, Dhanji joined forces with DRV on his breakout album “Polaris”. It was preceded by his debut verse with Prabh Deep on “DSP” mixtape.
Check out the massive “Ruab (Director’s Cut)” tracklist and artwork shared by Dhanji via Instagram.
The earlier version of “Ruab” was supported by vehement touring across India and turned Dhanji’s debut LP into a cult classic in underground India rap music.
In May this year, the breakout rapper performed his 19th Ruab live set in Delhi with his ensemble R.O.T.F.
