Rural Hip-Hop in India

A new musical trend has emerged in India recently- that of farmers using rap and hip-hop to put their frustrations into verse. One such rap artist from the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh is Somaraju. Personally discovered by gangster rap fanatic (and President of the World Bank) Robert Zoellick, Somaraju goes by the alias "LLBS", or "Ladies Love Brown Sugar". Check out the album cover of his latest release here. You have to right click and "Save As" to view the file, just clicking the link won't work.
