IN THE PRESS
Rukus Avenue favorite Rasika Mathur is back on MTV again on the hit show Wild N Out. Her second stint on the hit improvisational comedy show is headed by Nick Cannon and features Rasika with her deep bag of talent. If you do get a chance, tune into MTV to check out RasiRas do her thing!
If you recall, Rasika and Sammy embarked on a funny comedy album called SARI (W)RAP.
Sammy Chand masterfully depicts the rise and reign of a mythic ruler from pre-colonial India on his debut album Tale of a Crown. The album evokes exotic imagery, in an enchanting musical interpretation of the last days of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the Maratha. It captures the pulsating energy of the bazaar and the ecstatic joy upon the birth of the heir apparent. It follows his journey to claim his birthright, protect his family legacy and secure his place among the great Maharaja. Unbeknownst to his subjects, the newly ascended King is all too aware that they will soon defer to the next chapter of history. Tale of a Crown is an epic told with broad strokes and ornate details. It is an electrifying and emotionally charged musical experience. Each song captures the essence of India’s rich musical tradition. Chand’s unique ability to unify the various regional elements of Indian music into a cohesive sound with pulsating Hip-Hop rhythms has become his musical signature.
The brand new Sammy Chand track featuring Cappadonna of the Wu Tang Clan will release April 9th on all digital outlets. The track is a highlight of songs to come from Sammy’s vault of music, and features a new direction with the veteran Cappadonna.
The song was recorded a couple of months back at the Rukus Avenue studios and was mixed by longtime partner in crime Jack Atlantis.
