Indian Hip-Hop/Rap, Pop and R&B superstar King, born Arpan Kumar Chandel, has finally revealed the star-studded tracklist of his forthcoming debut LP “New Life”. As per the hard-hitting emcee and singer, King’s “debut album” will feature star-studded appearances from pop superstar Julia Michaels, rap cult-figure Gucci Mane and Indian pop singer Nikita Gandhi.
Further, the 12-track LP will feature record production by super producers Section 8 and Karan Kanchan too.
While announcing the “New Life” track list and artwork, King shared an affecting message with his fans and reminisced about the earlier days of his rap career.
“When I left from MTV Hustle Season 1 in 2019, I thought my NEW LIFE had started which was kind of, actually true. Instantly, I decided to take a risk to drop my first album “NEW LIFE“ after getting discovered by a bigger audience through Hustle. It’s been 4 years of releasing two of my most favourite singles – “Tum Saath Rehnaa” & “No Loss” from New Life,” King wrote.

Ahead of his long-awaited album, King has premiered two lead singles – “Crown” and “Sarkaare”. The records hint at another genre-fluid LP by the Indian music heavyweight.
Most recently, King joined global rap artists Kendrick Lamar and his cousin Baby Keem, U.K. Rapstar Central Cee, Lil Yachty, Jack Harlow, cult rock band The Rolling Stones on the 85-tracks long EA Sports FC24 OST.
Further, King is gearing up for a massive “New Life India Tour” later this month.
Notably, King’s star-studded album arrives amidst bac-to-back international feature confirmations by Diljit Dosanjh.
The legendary Punjabi singer, who released his 17th LP “Ghost” last week, has at least six collaborative efforts with multi-platinum rappers, pop singer and record producers in the works.
In August, Dosanjh confirmed new music with NLE Choppa and Hip-Hop superproducer Honorable C.N.O.T.E.
That announcement was preceded by Dosanjh’s forthcoming record with Saweetie and The Bronx’s A Boogie With Da Hoodie and Hip-Hop superproducer London On Da Track. Reportedly, Dosanjh has a single with American pop singer Sia in the works too.
