The latest offering from Pakistan's premier Hip Hop crew, SQB (aka Sharaf Qaisar Band) , is this new song titled "My City, produced and directed by the in-conquerable Sharaf Qaisar and released under the umbrella of #SQNation and #RichMusicPK.
The song puts into words, the feeling of the youth and what it is going through in these times. SQ has brilliantly amalgamated 3 different rappers, each having their own unique perspectives and brought them onto a single platform and has provided a stage for them to voice their point of views in a beautifully constructed musical performance. The video compliments the overall theme and magnifies the message in the lyrics of the song.
What started out as a song for Karachi and the problems its citizens face on a daily basis has morphed into a country-wide sentiment fueled by the prevailing situation in our country. Instead of playing with flashy nuances, the video brings forth a gritty, grimy, in your face feel which beautifully compliments the gravity of the situation and the frustration one feels living here day in and day out.
In a country continuously plagued by trivial shenanigans, creativity often takes a back seat. It is refreshing to see that the youth stays unnerved by the conditions and keeps finding positive ways to make a difference.
