Epic Fight in Public ( Got Arrested) (Gone Wrong )

The Nepali rap scene has found its latest rising star. Yodda, a young Nepali artist living abroad, with his latest single, is already turning a few heads. The track, titled Malai Baal, which in Nepali slang loosely translates into “I don’t care”, is one of the first and few examples of a Nepali artist making music in a hip-hop sub-genre known as trap music. And the novelty is exhilarating. Trap started in the notoriously dangerous and crime-ridden streets of Chicago’s South Side. The music is slow-paced and can sound jarring to an unfamiliar listener. The lyrics of trap tend to speak about the drugs and violence associated with gang culture. While Yodda may have taken the production hints from the genre, the topic of his lyrics is decidedly different. In Malai Baal, the video begins with Yodda running barefoot through a sub-urban neighbourhood, with its manicured lawns and wide, paved roads. Immediately, the viewer can guess that he is not in Nepal. As the video progresses, he stumbles and falls to the ground, and the video cuts to a shot of Yodda, lying on his back, staring up at the sky.
