Raftaar Says, 'Rap Songs Will Never Fade Away'

New Delhi: Rapper Raftaar, who sang foot-tapping numbers like Dhup Chik, Swag Mera Desi and All Black, says the rap genre will never fade away from the music industry.

Since every genre goes through its phase of being in and out of demand, IANS asked Raftaar if rap will fade away. "That is never going to happen. In no way possible," said Raftaar, whose real name is Dilin Nair.

At the same time, he feels there's no need for adding rap all the time. "There is a difference between quantity and quality. Being a rapper, I can say that it is not necessary to put a rap verse in every other song," he said.

The Pappi Song singer said he is happy about the fact that people understand what rap songs "actually mean."

"Last year it (rap songs) was a trend, but now people are actually understanding what it actually means," Raftaar said.
