Mumbai's Finest: The Hip Hoppers

Eventually, they moved their music to online platforms like YouTube, Facebook and SoundCloud to attract a larger audience. Today, they've performed more than 1000 shows, have racked up millions of YouTube hits and have released a record -Mumbai Till I Die-to cement their claim as the country's first -not to mention the best -rap crew.

Mumbai's Finest was formed by Ace. Today, it's rounded out by a talented panel of musicians, Nasty Ninja, Diefferent, I'n'Stine . They are also a record label and hip hop activists. The group raps mostly about growing up in Mumbai and what the city means to them along with their life experiences. Aside from being the first hip hop group to pave the way in India, Mumbai's Finest is also one of the most respected. This is evidenced by the group's three awards for Best Rap/Hip Hop Artist at the Radio City Freedom Awards and 2 Awards at the Artist Aloud Awards-the only independent act to earn such an honor. They've also appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone India , Performed and collaborated with A Rahman. Earning such honors while remaining independent isn't just notable, it's practically unheard of in the music business, especially among the rap/hip hop genre.
