Speaking about his journey with the genre and how his interest had sparked with Tupac back in 1995, Ranveer told the publication: “Although the themes were very mature for me at the time, I feel like I still, even at that age, could recognize that there was something very authentic in the expression.”

“The one thing I love the most about the label is the fact that it’s no strings attached. t’s no pressure. It’s just creating freely. It’s unbound,” he said talking about his label.
