India based Urdu Rapper, Atishbaz (Mo Boucher) from THugs Unit talks about his craft and more

THugs Unit is the first and only Urdu Rappers from India. What other Urdu rappers claim to use is a mix of Urdu and Hindi. Authentic Urdu is less used in rap music because classical Urdu is not used for talking anymore. Their style is not limited to hip hop but they also do Reggae music. They are known for their catchy Reggae hooks. Hooks that contain “Jamaican Patwa”.

How did you come by your stage name?

I Go by the name Mo Boucher when I rap in English or spitting a Reggae chorus. I’m coming back in the Indian hip hop scene with a new name “Atishbaz” which means the one who plays with fire. Atishbaz is Mo Bouchers alter Ego which raps in Urdu.

When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?

When I was 15. I probably have ADHD and the rhythm part of music helped me channelize my energy. Also probably my ADHD has helped me be a better musician.
