Nika D x Ikka - Bombay Moves

Bad Medic Records continues to redefine musical boundaries with the release of "Bombay Moves," a standout single in its revolutionary 'Trading Roots' campaign. This dynamic collaboration features British grime pioneer Nika D and trailblazing Indian rapper Ikka. The track seamlessly blends UK grime and drill with classical Indian instrumentation, samples, and percussion, showcasing powerful lyrics in both English and Indian dialects against an icy, hard-hitting production.

"Bombay Moves" captures the essence of multi-continental collaboration. The visually stunning video, shot in the heart of Mumbai, highlights the city’s vibrant and gritty landscapes. The catchy hook, “UK to India, trading roots… Nika D, Ikka, we making moves,” encapsulates the song's spirit of cross-cultural fusion.

Nika D, delving into his Indian heritage, set out to create a track that fused his grime roots with classical Indian elements. Teaming up with Delhi-based rap superstar Ikka was a pivotal moment for the track, bringing a fresh perspective and flavor. Nika D’s passion for connecting with his heritage, inspired by his visits to India with his late father, drives the 'Trading Roots' project.

"Bombay Moves" is a groundbreaking rap-fusion anthem that not only pushes musical boundaries but also reconnects histories, symbolizing a positive reconnection between the UK and India through the universal language of music.
