Rapper Rap Kid India turns composer-lyricist for Malayalam film

Rapper Aditi Nair aka Rap Kid India talks about having sung and written for ‘Kho Kho’

Rapper Rap Kid India’s [Aditi R Nair] distinctive voice and style belies her age. The 17-year-old’s curiosity led her to give a shot at hip hop when she was 13 years old. Now, four years later, she has not only made a name for herself as a rapper but also turned lyricist-composer-singer for the recently-released Malayalam film, Kho Kho. Although this is not her first time in cinema; her first film was Tovino Thomas’ Kilometres and Kilometres, in which she rapped for ‘Thelinjee Vaanaake…’ She has also sung the cover version of ‘Apna time aayega…’ from the film Gully Boy for #WithALittleHelp a Google initiative, honouring sports persons. Kho Kho, however, is special because she has written and sung for five songs, besides backing vocals for a sixth, ‘Kho Kho Theevandi’.
