Mumbai (Anil Bedag): The landscape of Indian hip-hop is undergoing a seismic shift, and Dhanda Nyoliwala is the force leading the charge. In a historic moment for regional music, his latest album, ‘Kohram’, has stormed the global charts, securing the #7 spot and proving that language is no barrier to world-class rhythm.

The ‘Not Guilty’ Phenomenon

The momentum behind this global ascent was ignited by the viral anthem ‘Not Guilty’. The track’s official music video has surpassed a staggering 73 million views, evolving from a hit song into a massive cultural movement.

‘Kohram’: A Masterclass in Raw Versatility

Kohram is being hailed by critics as a project that perfectly balances raw street energy with refined musicality. The album showcases two distinct sides of Nyoliwala’s artistry:

  • The Powerhouse: High-intensity tracks like No Fluke, Tension, and Deadly Zone deliver the unapologetic aggression his fans crave.

  • The Poet: More reflective songs such as Nobody Came, Forever, and Vomit On Paper offer a rare, vulnerable glimpse into the artist's personal struggles and growth.

A Collaborative Triumph

The album’s rich soundscape is further enhanced by strategic collaborations with talented artists including Ron Likhari, Miki Malang, Hammy Muzic, and Xvir Grewal. These partnerships add diverse textures to the project while ensuring the sound remains rooted in the authenticity of its origins.

"This is Just the Beginning" — Dhanda Nyoliwala

Reflecting on his chart-topping success, an ecstatic Dhanda Nyoliwala stated Kohram’ is everything I’ve lived and experienced. Every track has its own story and energy. Seeing people connect with it, and the love ‘Not Guilty’ is getting, means a lot to me. This is just the beginning."
