RDB & Nindy Kaur have taken over everything like there’s no tomorrow. It’s only a matter of time till little kids are taking lunch boxes to school that say ‘Aloo Chaat’ with a picture of RDB or their nominated for an MTV Music Award! Trust me, it’s RDB & Nindy Kaur – anything, and I mean anything, is possible. And they’ve shown just that; if you believe in what you’re most passionate about, you can achieve the impossible.

From touring across the world to four hit songs this year to performing at the biggest wedding in Bollywood, they’ve done that plus more! Now to me, their Kuly, Manj, Surj & Nindy; but to the rest of the world their idols, role models, and celebrities.

In between performing across India and preparing for the holidays, I had the pleasure (as always *wink wink*) to catch up with these amazing musicians for an exclusive interview. For your reading pleasure, I present, one final sit-down with RDB & Nindy Kaur before the New Year!

Wow, you guys have had one heck of a year. Tell us, what was your most memorable moment 2009?
Kuly: As always touring with my brothers and sister in-law…seeing the tracks we’ve been making really light up fans faces…you just cant beat that feeling.

Manj: It has to be touring with the whole family; this includes Anoop, my son. Every time we got onto stage he would just run on and take the show over…he’s absolute nutcase just like his parents…haha!

Surj: For me it has to be the tours in India. It was great fun, and met so many new people.

Nindy: Performances and video shoos are hand-in-hand for me. But I’m going with video shoots. We shot the video for my song Akhiyan…

The first time I met G-Deep was about four years ago. I’m good friends with his cousin and he told me he wanted to introduce me to someone who sang…first he played his songs for me in the car and the next time I met the real deal. From the first time I met G-Deep, I knew that he was going to do a lot of big things; but I never thought that he was going to do a collabo with Wu-Tang Clan member, Cappadonna and R&B sensation Senjh. But if you believe in something with the same amount of passion and determination as G-Deep anything is possible.

Recently G-Deep shot the video for his forthcoming track, ‘Nach Le,’ at Fire & Ice in Woodbridge, NJ. With a storm storm heading their way, they didn’t let anything get in their way of making this smash-hit.

Kiran Kaur, part of G-Deep’s management team asserts, “In the era of social networking, mergers and acquisitions, alliances and partnerships; it is through music collaborations that the world will first become one. Regardless of the genre, music is a universal language. A language that builds bridges, closes gaps, amalgamates cultures and unites us on the dance floor. The collaboration of Hip-Hop legend Cappadonna of Wu Tang Clan, with recording artist G-Deep, and the talented R&B producer/singer/song-Writer ‘Senjh’ does just that – “unites us on the dance floor.” Their combined musical talents fuse perfectly to form an unmistakable sound destined for chart topping success and platinum record sales.”

Right there, she pretty much summed it all up!

Internationally acclaimed group, RDB (Kuly, Manj, Surj & Nindy Kaur( have had nothing less than an epic year. When taking their first steps in Bollywood with tracks as Rafta Rafta and Singh is King, these artists have soared to unimaginable heights.

2009 started off with a bang as Nindy Kaur was introduced to Bollywood with two tracks, Aloo Chaat and Boliyaan. Both became instant favorites to fans across the world, especially in India, as these tracks were featured by a few performers on the show ‘Boogie Woogie.’ With the success of their music in ‘Aloo Chaat,’ it was understood that more was to come from this unmatched group. Following Aloo Chaat, their next major hit was Om Mangalam, from the film, ‘Kambaqtht Ishq.’ The track was featured in all the movie promos across the world and landed the #1 position on many Bollywood music charts as well. And if three songs wasn’t enough, RDB have ended the year with one last Bollywood project; they re-composed their worldwide hit, Paisa, for Akshay Kumar’s latest film, ‘De Dana Dan,’ featuring Manak-E. The track has become so successful that it’s held the #1 spot for the past five weeks.

Aside from their Bollywood projects, RDB and Nindy Kaur have been traveling the world, performing for thousands of fans in the US, Canada, UK, Dubai, and India, to say the least. They’ve even took over some of the largest theme parks in the US, over the summer, as RDB & Nindy Kaur were touring, giving away CDs, and meeting their fans.  When asked about this experience, Manj stated, “It was great performing in front of all the crowds at the theme parks; plus we got to go on the rides too, haha!”

Rakhi Sawant is one of the most sought after ‘item girls’ in the Bollywood industry and has lately captured the eyes of Hip-Hopper, IshQ Bector.

Sawant said that she was tired with the type of work she was doing and look who decided to be her fairy godfather, IshQ! India’s mad-max music import from Canada, decided to grant her wish as he re-introduces the item pathaka in the title track of his forthcoming album, Jhagde. The exposure will surely be good for Rakhi!

IshQ said, “The spunky brand [Rakhi], known for her bold and brazen personality with high mass appeal, will now be seen in a completely classy,up-market trendy look and style.” His team later went onto say that Rakhi’s new look will show her in a really short crop, jazzy tops and hot-pants to compliment them.

“We’re taking her cattiness to the next level,” stared IshQ. And when IshQ says something, he means it. We’ve all seen how his videos have been…if anyone remember his hit video track Aye Hip Hopper, then we’re on the same page!

In this new video, Rakhi will be seen in a freestyle boxing match against IshQ. I wonder who will win…though I have a feeling Rakhi will kick IshQ’s butt

Rakhi had to say, “If ishQ thinks he will get away with the ‘jhagde’, he’s sorely mistaken. Even with a hip look, I can beat the Hip Hopper black and blue in any boxing match.”

Ding! Ding! Let Round 1 begin!

But Sawant’s latest hot and sizzling video with IshQ Bector is attracting more eyeballs with the item girl’s new glam look. However, a lot of people have noticed that Sawant’s look is similar to that of Sherlyn Chopra. IshQ’s management team said, “Yes this look was deliberately given…

Now I’m a big music fan! I love it all. And if you don’t admit to dancing around your room to a favorite song, you’re a liar (haha)! Well, I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve done it! And ‘2 Step Bhangra’ is my jam! MTL’s The Bilz & Kashif have become a household name in the music industry and are making international waves! I recently had the chance to sit down with them and discuss current projects and much more! Check it out!

Tell us a little bit about your latest album ‘Breaking Barriers’?
This is a brand spanking new album. It’s a follow up to our last self-titled album that featured 2 Step Bhangra. Breaking Barriers is what fans have been waiting for in a long time, and trust me you can probably call it the “greatest hits” album (laughs). It’s also a musical masterpiece that’s necessary for the music industry right now. Tons of live instruments, a lot of electro pop sounds with a touch of Bollywood. We’ve put in so much time, sweat and effort to make this an outstanding album. You will see a lot of tracks that feature Master-D on the Hindi & Punjabi vocals while Kashif does his magic in English and Vicious does a few rap features too – it’s definitely Breaking Barriers.

You’ve faced their fair share of challenges, which served as the inspiration for their latest single, “Against All Odds.” Do you mind sharing with us some of these challenges?
This industry is full of challenges but the concept of Against All Odds that drops worldwide on iTunes on November 23^rd along with the video premiere on Desihits.com, is about how we’ve all worked so hard to get at this level of success. One of…

The phone rings and Roc Nation’s latest artist, J.Cole, is on the other end. Surreal, isn’t it? And it was just that. We shared our laughs on the phone and talked about working with Hip-Hop superstar Jay-Z. The topic of film & acting even came up in conversation.

J.Cole (full name Jermaine Cole) was born in Germany and moves to North Carolina at the age of one. A graduate of St. John’s University (Magna Cum Laude), he said that the only reason he went to college in New York was to pursue a record deal – and if you have the passion & determination as J.Cole, it will happen to you.

In late 2007 he released his debut mix-tape, The Come Up. Jay-Z heard his track, Lights Please, and immediately contacted him and from there onwards, it was history! He then released his second mix-tape The Warm Up on June 15^th, 2009. J.Cole’s biggest moment came when he was featured on Jay-Z latest album, The Blueprint 3, on the track A Star is Born. J.Cole’s vocals can also be heard on Wale’s upcoming debut album as well. Currently he’s working on his own debut album with producer No I.D., and I had the chance to sit down with this superstar on the rise.

I think it’s a little cool that I can say I’ve got some awesome friends like Baba Kahn, Lomaticc, and Sunny Brown – they are always putting out some of the hottest tunes in the scene. With bangers such as Slip & Fall and Tonight, it came to no surprise that the rest of their music would be just as fab!

When they came down a few months ago, I had the chance to spend the entire day with them and all we did was drive around Jersey and blast Bombay Bo in my car. I knew that everyone would love it when they heard it & they did! And when the video dropped, everything was history!

I knew they were cooking up some big-time collaborations, but when Dil came out I was straight shocked! I heard it and I fell in love with it right away! People were asking me for the song, but good things come to those who wait, right?!

When the track dropped today afternoon, I sent a quick text to Baba and he replied back, “This track has a great club vibe and has club banger written all over.”

RDB’s very own, Nindy Kaur, released a special Diwali present to all her fans worldwide (no pun intended), this year. The gift was none other than one of her most popular tracks, Dil Mera Laigiya. Personally, this is one of my most favorite Nindy Kaur tracks! Whenever she performs this song, her face just lights up & her vocal-passion with Manj on stage is incredible! “When I do my live set, the crowd love this song. I can feel their energy, so I thought, why not give my fans something which they’d love to hear,” Nindy told me over the phone.

And we all know that her album is releasing soon, so I had to ask why she released the track. Nindy laughed and said, “Manj & I talked about it and everyone’s been patiently waiting for my debut album so a one-track teaser would be good, it keeps everyone waiting for more!” She’s right, it is a good tease! But then again, I do have this one track that nobody outside the RDB family has heard yet and trust me, it’s a banger! But listening to Nindy’s vocals on this track is intoxicating enough! She’s got these amazing vocals that just ’sing to you’ — literally!

Not only is  she a great singer, but I’ve got the honor of calling her one of my closest friends too! From Bhangra to Bollywood, she’s a powerhouse of talent! Make sure you join her official Facebook page and follow her on Twitter too!

Make sure you check our RDB on Facebook and Twitter too! By the way, congrats to the boys of RDB who have been nominated for 2 Urban Music Awards over in London! I’m telling you, RDB & Nindy Kaur are doing a worldwide takeover! Alright, pun intended that time! Be…

November 23 is the release date for Jay Sean’s highly anticipated album, All Or Nothing. Last night Bravura Artist Magazine was front and center at Jay Sean’s exclusive listening party in New York City. He gave a brilliant performance & more over, wanted to thank everyone for their undivided support! But Jay Sean wasn’t the only person who was present at this event! Cash Money’s very own Slim & Birdman were present for the event as well!

Everyone who attended was left in awe from the minute the entered to when the festivities were over. Before Jay even graced the stage, people were already in the “Jay Sean mood,” as the bar (and yes, it was an open bar, haha) served drinks like Down and Do You Remember all night long!

The venue was perfect for the night. It was the hip & posh, Greenhouse in New York City. The DJ kept the crowed going all night long spinning the biggest hits, and of course Young Money & Cash Money tracks too! While all this was going on inside, the real party was outside! Two big jeeps, with Birdman, Slim, and other honorable mentions entered Greenhouse, exciting everyone!

Toronto, Canada has been known to be the home of some exceptional musical talents in the South Asian scene! Recently a friend of mine told me about a new artist he’s working with – King Roti. As soon as I heard the name, I was interested in finding out more! Turns out he just dropped a brand new video, “Let’s Get Away,” featuring Canadian R&B diva Kim Davis.

The track was and produced by international Hip Hip-Hop producer FONZ from Dramatic Trax. Trust me, after taking a listen to Roti on this track, you’ll want to pack your bags and get-away with him too!

2006 was when Roti first stepped into the Canadian urban music scene; everyday he’s worked relentlessly to solidify his make a name for himself in the world of rap music. Since his debut in the music scene, Roti has since then released six mix tapes, four promo CDs, five videos, and four radio singles. Can we say hardworking?! Without a doubt, one can say he’s done quite well for himself, not to mention he’s and has done countless shows throughout the Toronto area.
