Prabh Deep is also readying a new album
Narcotic substances are a reality, whether you like it or not. They come in different shapes and sizes, with multifarious forms including liquids and powders. The concept of selling them is an illicit activity, but hip-hop mainstay Prabh Deep is not making any judgments with a new single called Chitta. In it, he chronicles a character modelled on a peddler. This person is doing just a job that helps put food on the table. That's what the singer is saying in the lyrics. The peddler is only selling a product that has demand, for better or for worse.
"The intent was more about educating the youth about drugs, without taking a pro or an anti-stand. The character in my song is both a hero and a villain at the same time. The aim is to illustrate that there is good in the bad, and bad in the good. But behind it all, there is a real human being who is just trying to provide for his family. In that sense, he is as bad as the government that has left him with no other avenues for work," the Delhi-based artiste tells us about the track that's part of an upcoming album.
