Asi Khan is a young, talented and energetic punjabi rapper who hails from Norway. I still remember the ending of the song Mundiyan Tohn Bachke by Bohemia when at the end they say "desi hip hop - its spreading like a virus" ....and this is certainly true when you look at example such as Asi Khan from Norway, and let me tell you he has got some well produced tunez, so take a listen !
Asi Khan first step into the underground desi-music world was with his debut on Fauji Djs Miztape 'Hip-hop Vol1' which was released towards the end of February 2007. In April 2007 Asi Khan was announced as a Future Friction on The BBC UK Asian network charts. From there he grew and succeeded more then ever. He also got titles such as the weeks newcomer, one of the top 5 on their charts and the Artist of the week which means Future Friction. Since then his music has been all over the Internet and has also appeared in a few different mixtapes.
He grew up listening to music such as the Bollywood music, Qawali and Bhangra which was where he got influenced from. He used his influence and turned it up a notch to make it into something that described who he was; The Real Him. He took the two things that were the most important to him; his roots and the reality and so came up with Desi Hip Hop in which he has excelled in so far.
