Ferozi: Redefining Desi Hip Hop with ‘Farida Drip’

MUMBAI: The Indian Hip Hop scene is witnessing a fresh wave of authenticity, and leading this charge is Ferozi—a dynamic collective from Faridabad in collaboration with Sony Music India. This six-member powerhouse, led by the charismatic MC Square, is carving a niche in Desi Hip Hop with their unapologetic sound and raw storytelling. Joining him are Gurjar HB, MNDP, Mark Bhatia, Zerotoone, and Skymerijaan, each bringing their unique flair to the table. Together, they have dropped their debut track Farida Drip, which is already making waves in the Indian music scene.

A Bond Built on Shared Roots

When asked about the origins of Ferozi, the group emphasizes that their connection was organic and inevitable.

“F.E.R.O.Z.I—when we say it, we don’t just hear a name, we hear a feeling, a movement,” they explain. “We’ve known each other for years, vibed with each other’s music, and naturally built this bond. The inspiration came from within, from our roots, from Faridabad, from the fire we’ve always had to bring something real to the scene. We never forced this—Ferozi was already in us. Now the world gets to hear what we’ve always felt.”

This deep-rooted connection is what fuels their creative synergy, allowing each member to shine while contributing to a collective vision.

The Making of ‘Farida Drip’

Farida Drip is more than just a debut track—it’s a bold statement of intent. The song fuses Hindi, Haryanvi, and Punjabi influences, reflecting the group’s diverse backgrounds while maintaining a cohesive sound.

According to the crew, the track was born from a spontaneous studio session.

“It all started with ZeroToOne crafting that melody and drums. He laid the foundation, and we just let the energy flow,” they share. ”‘Farida Drip’ is us in our purest form—six unique artists bringing their styles together without losing the essence of who we are. We kept it tight, no unnecessary extensions, no fillers—just pure expression.”

The track seamlessly blends folk elements with hard-hitting drums and razor-sharp verses, offering listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the Ferozi universe.

Balancing Individuality with Collective Vision

With six strong personalities under one banner, maintaining harmony might seem challenging—but for Ferozi, it’s all about respect and trust.

“We respect each other’s artistry first. That’s the key,” they affirm. “Every member of Ferozi has a distinct voice, a unique perspective, but when we come together, we don’t compete—we complete. The balance is in the understanding that Ferozi is an extension of who we are individually. We push each other, challenge each other, but most importantly, we trust the process.”

This collaborative spirit is the glue that binds the group, allowing them to move seamlessly between solo projects and collective work without losing momentum.

Pushing Boundaries in Desi Hip Hop

In an industry that’s evolving rapidly, Ferozi isn’t content with just keeping up—they’re here to redefine the game.

“The scene is growing fast, but growth without evolution isn’t enough,” they assert. “We’re here to push beyond boundaries—sonically, lyrically, visually. Ferozi is a blend of different energies, different stories. Our sound is a spectrum, and we’re here to show that. We’re here to shift the entire landscape.”

Their vision is clear: to challenge norms and expand the scope of Desi Hip Hop while staying true to their roots.

What’s Next for Ferozi?

For those wondering what lies ahead, the group promises to keep the energy high and the music flowing.

“Three words? Be. A. Ferozi,” they say emphatically. “It’s a perspective, a lifestyle, a movement. We’re bringing consistency, storytelling, and anthems that’ll stay with people. If you’ve been rocking with us, you already know. If you’re new, welcome to the journey—because we’ve arrived, and this is just the beginning.”

With Farida Drip setting the tone, Ferozi is poised to leave an indelible mark on the Indian music scene. This is not just a group—it’s a movement, and they’re only getting started.
