Surj and Manj of Punjabi bhangra and hip-hop band RDB, who had been lying low since the death of their brother and third band member Kuly, are back! Their latest composition is the title track of Bollywood movie "Bajatey Raho".
They took a break after they lost Kuly in 2012. Now the brothers are happy to be back in business.
"I was very excited when I was given the chance to work on this song. I have always wanted to work on music that reflects the choice of the youth merged with the sounds of hip-hop along with our desi style," Manjeet aka Manj said in a statement.
"Fusion is the one thing that I loved producing with Kuly and this song has given me a chance to recreate a piece which I can dedicate to him," he added.
The film's director, Shashant Shah says the song "follows the same feel as that of the film 'Bajatey Raho'".
"It's all about 'bajaoing' in the wrong way to get the right thing and I think that the duo has done a fabulous job maintaining this," said Shah.
"The words are easy and one can sing along. This song, I feel can become the anthem of today's youth who themselves believe in fighting crime by using bad to reach the good," he added.
RDB had earlier composed songs like "Shera di kaum", "Om mangalam", "Paisa paisa", "Singh Is Kinng" and "Rafta rafta".
