Rapper Prabh Deep has emerged as one of the most prominent Indian rappers from across the country, in the last few years, following the super-success of his debut album, 'Class Sikh'. Earlier this March, the rapper released his critically well-received sophomore album 'Tabia', a fifteen track feature that encapsulates his rise to stardom, fame, success and love. Following weeks witnessed him release the music video of 'Waqaf', one among the fifteen tracks listed on the album, which saw tremendous reception from fans and the indie music fraternity.

This week, the Delhi-based 27-year-old rapper drops the music video of the second song, 'Paapi' from the album. Shot under harsh conditions in Leh, Ladakh, the video displays the singer's raw energy and unmistakable ability to create fascinating narratives. The song delves into the delusions that an artist immerses himself into following overnight popularity, which leads to utmost denial of reality. It further showcases the man's absolute submission to the materialistic pleasures that lure him into becoming content with a distorted environment he has created for himself.

Directed by Mikhail Anand and shot by Prabhudutta Mohanty, the video has been conceived by Arsh Sayed and edited by Sarang Aigalikar.

The video premieres on Prabh Deep's YouTube channel from May 21st, 2021 onwards.

You can also stream the song on Radio City Freedom and Radio City Hip Hop.
