Punjabi Hip-Hop superstar Karan Aujla has released the long-awaited rap EP ‘Four Ways’. Executive Produced by Ikky with assistance from Jamaal Europe, Sandor Shweisberg, Amiri, Phil and more, the four-track EP is a brief yet hard-hitting rap record. Clocking at just 13 minutes, the EP features the lead single ’52 Bars’, ‘Take It Easy’, ‘Fallin Apart’ and ‘Yeah Naah’.
Interestingly, Aujla’s top-selling record ‘On Top’ doesn’t find a spot on the album.
The EP’s stunning rollout includes an affecting announcement by Aujla on his 26th birthday and a slew of teases on social media. Notably, the young Vancouver-based record producer Ikky even previewed ‘Yeah Naah’ during his live set.
Ikky has led record production on some of the biggest Punjabi Hip-Hop & Pop releases including ‘Baller’ by Shubh, ‘Chauffeur’ by Diljit Dosanjh featuring Tory Lanez, ‘She’s The One’ by Soni Pabla and ’80 90′ by Garry Sandhu & Amrit Maan.
Aujla – often referred to as ‘Geetan Di Machine’ owing to his top-selling Punjabi rap records across the globe – released his first single ‘Property of Punjab’ in 2016 which left a little room for doubting his pensive lyricism and an inherent capability to release hard-hitting rap records. Produced by the iconic Punjab Hip-Hop producer Deep Jandu, the single set the stage for a slew of influential records from the artist ever since.
Some of his biggest singles include the recently released ‘On Top’, ‘Gangsta’ feat. Compton’s YG, ‘Players’ alongside Indian Hip-Hop’s global superstar Badshah, ‘YKWIM’ or ‘You Know What I Mean’ feat. Kr$na and more.
For many Hip-Hop listeners across the globe, Aujla is the finest lyricist and emcee of all time in the Punjabi hip-hop scene. Revered for his music, the artist stands next to some of the biggest icons in Punjabi music including the late Sidhu Moosewala, Diljit Dosanjh, Prem Dhillon and AP Dhillon.
