If it wasnât for Michael Jackson, Hiphop Tamizha may never have come to be. The duoâs public face, Adhitya âAdhiâ Venkatapathy, first heard the megastarâs hip-hop crossover âJamâ when he was a youngster and was so inspired by the track, it sparked an unyielding love of the genreâone that would eventually see him commit his life to the rap game. When Adhi met R. Jeeva in 2005 via social media, he found his musical soulmate; the artists crafted diverse hip-hop tracks in Tamil together and soon the genreâs first mixtape in the language dropped, Adhiâs own Viswaroobam Arambam, which played a significant part in promoting the style across India in the mid-2000s. But it wasnât until they were handed an opportunity to write an anthem for the 2011 Tamil Nadu state elections that the act emerged from the underground. That track, âEzhuvoam Vaaâ, may not have been a commercial success but it nevertheless marked a turning point. In the years since, theyâve risen to the top of the scene, becoming one of Indiaâs best-loved hip-hop outfits, with career landmarks including their collaboration with cognac brand RĂ©my Martin in the early 2010s and the 2012 launch of their debut album proper, Hip Hop Tamizhan, which won praise from critics and fans alike. The pair collaborated with American artists like Sol and Emcee Call and crossed over into film in 2015, composing the soundtracks for Aambala and Thani Oruvanâthe latter topping Apple Musicâs Best of 2015 list for Tamil album of the year. Over the years, Hiphop Tamizha have soundtracked Telugu films, collaborated with graffiti artistsâand Adhi has even turned actor. These two talents are genuine multi-disciplinarians who still have much more to give to a genre they helped popularise in the first place.
