About Raftaar
Raftaar is an Indian rapper, lyricist, music producer and performer whose career spans desi hip-hop, Bollywood, Punjabi-influenced commercial music and independent rap.

Tracks such as Swag Mera Desi, Sheikh Chilli, Ghana Kasoota, Dhaakad and All Black demonstrate a catalogue capable of moving between lyrical rap, film music and high-energy crowd anthems.
Raftaar remains active in 2026. Apple Music lists Legacy Anthem as his latest release, dated 11 July 2026, following 2025 releases including Farebi and Haareya (Raftaar Version). His recent catalogue continues alongside projects such as Hard Drive, Vol. 2, reinforcing his position within contemporary Indian hip-hop rather than only mainstream playback. His experience also includes television and rap-culture platforms, broadening recognition beyond music streaming. engage4more brings experience from 5000+ events covered, helping organisers match artist format, production and audience expectations.
