Unmada Dethol Official Video


This was the first Single from my second Solo album Ranidu 2007. I wanted to really come out with the NY sound as I was living in manhattan then and was influenced a lot by rap. Hollee smokez was a rapper a collabod a lot with and he brought the real NY street flava to my track. I think this album and video pushed the envelope in Sri Lankan hip hop and that was my goal.

The track was included on Nihal’s bombay bronx compilation in India and got the urban desi fans (that include more of the sri lankan diaspora as well as other south asian nations) really listening to sri lankan hip hop for the first time. There was an official launch in New York as well.
