Singer Ali Zafar has just announced a rap battle, following the rap competition he was originally hosted on his record page. He has now decided to shortlist 30 competitors instead of three finalists, who would participate in a rap battle judged by critically acclaimed rappers.
Considering diss culture is an integral part of hip hop, Zafar went on to promise that in his humble capacity, he would provide a platform to all the rappers out there so they can utilize their talent and exercise their culture to the fullest.
“We will shortlist 30 candidates and I won’t do that. I want this to be a democratic process and I want you all to be satisfied with the selection,” Ali Zafar said.
He then revealed that public votes will help shortlist the 30 rappers along with a panel of judges. The panel features the likes of Kamran Rashid Khan, alias, Lazarus, a Detroit-based American rapper and songwriter of Pakistani descent, Fakhar-e-Alam, who introduced bhangra rap in Pakistan, Entity Paradigm’s Ahmad Ali Butt, and Young Stunners’ Talha Yunus.
Lazarus confirmed the same with a recent shoutout to Zafar in a tweet.
These judges would also finalize three winners from the rap battle, who would then star and rap alongside Zafar in his upcoming music video.
But aside from that, his label Lightingale records would also sign hip hop artists from among the candidates of the competition.
