MUMBAI: MC Altaf, who recently appeared in the blockbuster movie, Gully Boy, performed at Breezer Vivid Shuffle held at Khar Social in Mumbai, yesterday. The event was graced by Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, Spin Doctor, Naezy and other rappers and artists, who had come to celebrate the spirit of hip hop.
Speaking about his association, MC Altaf said, “This is my first association with Breezer Vivid Shuffle, but I had attended its first edition. I didn’t expect to be called to perform. The event is motivating dancers and I am feeling good to be a part of. It is also very colourful and the artists have been dressed up colourfully too and everybody will be presenting their style.”
Sharing the striking highlight of his performance, Altaf revealed prior to his performance, “I am going to keep the old school, boom rap vibe for my performance today because dancers love it and today, we are performing for them. I will not only do boom rap, but also call all the dancers on floor to join me.”
Further commenting on the current hip hop scene in India, he said, “When we started, hip hop was not taken that seriously, but today, big movies like Gully Boy have been made on hip hop. Also, shows like Breezer Vivid Shuffle are organised to promote the community. Currently, hip hop’s growth is becoming faster in India and I also believe that Indian hip hop will soon come on the world map and go international soon.”
On being asked, how his life changed after Gully Boy, MC Altaf exclaimed, “I got a bigger audience after Gully Boy. Earlier, only hip hop lovers use to attend our shows, but now even unknown public including college kids, aunties enjoy hip hop thanks to the film. I am happy that even aunties now understand this genre.
The registrations for Breezer Vivid Shuffle were declared open yesterday. The competition also has gone international with its 2019 edition.
