Bombay and Brooklyn collide when Bengali-American hip hop artist the1shanti drops on the mic. Bestowed with the title "India Bambaataa" by none other than the godfather of hip hop himself, Africa Bambaataa, this South Asian emcee is bringing hip hop to regions of the earth previously unchartered by any other artist. Raised in a strict Hindu household, the1shanti lies in the intersection of a Venn diagram consisting of the streets of Brooklyn and the culture of India. His just-released self-titled album showcases his versatile skills on tracks like "It's That Time". Bringing hip hop to the most populous democracy in the world is the1shanti's destiny, and a most righteous missionary he is.
