Feminine energy at its rawest display, Mumbai's rap artistes Pratika and Krantinaari are hopeful for a world that is unified through its diversity. Where labels don't exist, where marginalization isn't a norm. A world that thrives solely on equality across all divides irrespective of caste, creed, colour and gender.

Fanning the flames of that hope, the two rappers come together to offer us their new hard-hitting collaboration, 'Labels'. Through the song, both the ladies upend the narrative woven for decades by age-old racial slurs and bigotry where class distinctions have furthered the divides between the elite and the deprived, causing a complete social mayhem.

Krantinaari has also lent her creative expertise to the song's artwork which ably displays the venom being spewed by vicious serpents in pursuit of their depraved means. Mixed and mastered by Arsh Sharma, the song also marks the debut production of PrabhuNeigh, a well-known sound engineer and multi instrumentalist in Mumbai's indie circuit.

'Labels' is now streaming on Radio City Freedom and Radio City Hip Hop
