Indo-British raptress Taran Kaur Dhillon, popularly known as Hard Kaur, is tied up with a mix-tape that will feature as many as 28 rappers. After its release and a few more songs, the Ek glassy hitmaker, touted as India’s first female rapper, is thinking of quitting the music industry by the end of this year.
“There are 28 artistes, and 15 tracks have been short-listed for the mix-tape. They (artistes) will get to meet each other and then maybe they can collaborate later and make the hip-hop movement stronger,” Kaur said.
“The whole thing is being documented. So, there will be a documentary as well. I am just getting everybody together. It will take a while (to release) as somebody is in Mumbai or Delhi or Bengaluru,” she added. So what next after this? “I am in a confused situation... on what to do. I’ve never planned anything. I want to take a break and do other things in life. I am going to keep working this year and then, maybe, I will retire. I am tired. I’ve been doing this since my teen days,” added the 37-year-old.
The music scene, she believes, is better in Britain than in India. “People respect you if you do good stuff there. But then, on other days, there is racism and other things,” she concluded. — IANS
