Indian rap record producer Parimal Shais has finally premiered his massive collaborative “Ayyayyo”. Featuring lethal bars from Southern India’s influential rappers Hanumankind, ThirumaLi and MC Couper, the single serves as the debut collaborative effort among the four rap artists and arrives through the coveted rap record label Def Jam Recordings India.
Clocking at just over three minutes and a half, “Ayyayyo” is mired by Shais’ slick trap and Hip-Hop pinned against ThirumaLi and MC Couper’s incendiary Malayali verses. Further, the “Go To Sleep” rapper Hanumankind slithers across the hard-hitting rap record with evocative bars not just in English but Malayalam too.
In fact, HMK debuts Malayali rap for the first time ever in his rap career on the track. As reported earlier, “Ayyayyo” marks the Bengaluru-based emcee’s slight return to rap music after a brief hiatus. The “Damnson” rapper and songwriter hasn’t released new music since January after he dropped his major label debut “Go To Sleep”.
Check out the exclusive “Ayyayyo” artwork and its brief visual treatment trailer below.

“Ayyayyo” further Def Jam Recordings India’s unprecedented foray into Southern India’s burgeoning rap music.
Earlier this year, Def Jam Recordings India exclusively signed Tamil Nadu’s ferocious woman rapper Irfana and linked up with Parimal Shais, Hanumankind, Killa K, DHP and Rawal for a historic ’50 Years of Hip-Hop’ concert in HMK’s turf Benegaluru.
With the massive collaborative effort with South India’s finest, Def Jam Recordings India now joins another major Hip-Hop label in pushing Southern India’s rap music to the forefront. As reported earlier, Mass Appeal India has partnered up with Kerala’s flagrant rappers Baby Jean, Vedan and Dabzee.
Parimal Shais is yet to drop the forthcoming “Ayyayyo” visual treatment.
