Sureet Sandhu aka the face behind Digital Desi Productions is one of most respected names in the South Asian urban music scene. Ever since he started off his mixtapes titled “Renegades,” he’s crossed into international borders and has worked with some of the finest names in the US and UK.

Sureet was the first South Asian producer from the US to be recognized by the BBC Asian Network over in London with his track “Let Go,” featuring Sir Aah. Since then, Sureet has become a steady name over on the BBC radio, having been play-listed by some of the top hosts such as Adil Ray, Bobby Friction, and Nihal.

Sureet is a man known to be creative and he shows that not only in his different production style, but also through the projects he releases. Recently Sureet produced UK-based MC Seminar’s debut EP titled, “Digital War,” which can be found on iTunes. I had the chance to sit down with Sureet and gave him sixty seconds to tell us all we need to know!

Sureet Sandhu is a familiar name to the South Asian music industry in the US. He’s the first Desi producer from the US to be recognized by the BBC Asian Network for his production styles and collabos with US-based artists. He’s known for his monstrous mixtape series, “Renegades: Desi Hip-Hop Revolution.” He’s no stranger when it comes to huge collaborations and crazy projects! Recently Sureet teamed up with UK-based rapper Seminar – fresh new British Asian artist…rapper, songwriter, and producer, all rolled into one! Hailing from Slough, and is quite simply a BREATHE OF FRESH AIR. He’s ready to take the industry by storm by the release of his DEBUT project DIGITAL WAR the EP produced by Sureet Sandhu of Digital Desi Productions. Co-production also includes J-Doug and Seminar himself.

I’m quite excited to say that I’m the first who had the chance to chat with both Sureet and Seminar before the release of this highly anticipated EP! Jokes aside, these two are serious when it comes to music! They’ve put in months towards production, writing, and recording, and finally have a finished product to take over the Desi music scene with! Seminar has been writing since he was 12 years old, winning many writing and poetry competitions in and around the Berkshire area and also having a Children’s Book written by him published! He never really took or even thought about rapping or producing until he started at the university in 2002 – this is where he started playing around in the studio facility at his university and then began to write his own lyrics whilst rapping over mainstream beats. To his surprise and people around him, he was actually good. From there, the rest is history!

Like I said, I had the chance to talk to these two and people, this is…

“It’s not something you’re taught or told, just something you gradually come by. Looking back on my 21 years on this planet I can definitely see, as random events may seem, everything has a time and a place; a plan if you would. Who’s in control of this plan? Who knows. Who cares.”

That’s what rapper Kaly (Kunal Patel) asserts.

“Rhyme is what I do. It’s what I am.

It is what keeps me awake until the earliest hours of the morning and what allows me to sleep so peacefully at night (with the lights on of course). I rhyme to educate, to have fun, to bullshit. I rhyme well, fuck that, I rhyme the best. Confidence is 99% of the game and I am that good. I think in rhyme, I write in rhyme. I rhyme to show you that it is possible to reach a dream, but only if you have the heart for it. After 21 years of fighting anyone and everyone who said I couldn’t rhyme or would never make it, I’m finally here.”

Kaly is doing just that. He’s talented, fierce, and will stop at nothing less than successful. Just loving the fact that he’s a fellow Patel and making his mark in the music scene, I had a chat with this rising rapper and it went something like this…
