India, the land of 'shahstriya sangeet'(classical music), now sways to the tunes of new age rap music and how. Gone are the days when romantic songs used to top the chartbusters; raunchy and vociferous rap music aka item numbers sell today. Rap music genre, introduced in India by Baba Sehgal and popularised by Yo Yo Honey Singh, Hard Kaur and Badshah, has progressed greatly. These rappers have not only conquered YouTube through their albums but have also made a mark in Bollywood through peppy numbers like Angreji Beat, Lungi Dance, High Heels etc. Also Read - Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 maker Anees Bazmee gets candid on the bad box office phase of Akshay Kumar

Hirdesh Singh, better known as Yo Yo Honey Singh, has come a long way from being a Bhangra (Punjabi Folk) music producer to becoming one of the highest-paid music producers in Bollwood. He first got noticed when the song Angreji Beat from his album International Villager got featured in film Cocktail. His popularity reached the pinnacle in 2013 when he began producing songs for big-budget Bollywood films such as Lungi Dance for Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chennai Express and Party All Night for Akshay Kumar's Boss.

Badshah

Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, popularly known as Badshah started his career with Honey Singh with Mafia Mundeer, a band formed by Honey Singh. After producing some famous songs together like Begaani Naar, Get up Jawaani,etc. the band split in 2012. During Yo Yo Honey Singh's eighteen month long iffy absence from public light (which he later attributed to bipolar disorder) Badshah took over the space with popular Bollywood soundtracks like Abhi Toh Party Shuru Huyi hai, Saturday-Saturday, Selfie Le Le re, Kar Gayi Chull,etc.

Raftaar

Like Badshah, Dilin Nair (famous as Raftaar) too started his career with Mafia Mundeer. After the group split he joined Punjabi band RDB. Apart from his work with RDB and his solo album WTF – Witness The Future, he gained popularity through his Bollywood stints - Dhup Chik in Fugly, Whistle Baja and The Pappi Song in Heropanti,etc.

With the emergence of new rappers, it remains to be seen whether Yo Yo manages to stay around. Vote and tell us who is your favourite.
