AFKAP’s concluding chapter of his Parat Trilogy completes the narrative

Mumbai, 10^th October 2025: Delhi-based hip-hop artist AFKAP recently released the centre chapter of his debut Parat EP Series. While the first (Parat 1 represents Soul: Duty and Desire released in December 2023) and third (Parat 3 represents Mind: Closure and War released in August 2025) chapters have been met with critical acclaim, the second chapter (Parat 2 represents Body: Temptations and Consequences) brings the trilogy series full circle.

Derived from the Hindi word for ‘layers’, Parat unfolds like a narrative, with each chapter presenting a different facet of the human experience, creating a multilayered exploration of identity and growth. Parat 1 introduced the conflict between duty and desire, expectations and dreams, reflecting the struggles of growing up amidst societal expectations. Parat 3 with a focus on resilience and self-acceptance, confronts the inner battles that lead to clarity. Parat 2 carries the trilogy’s raw, visceral heartbeat—as it captures the fleeting nature of modern relationships and the confusion of an entire generation —chronicling the thrill and toxicity of limitless temptations, the transactional nature of intimacy, the fallout from impulsive decisions, and the scars left by unfulfilled desires

AFKAP states, “I started writing as an emotional outlet, and it became like therapy. Parat happened when I noticed patterns and layers in things I had normalized, and it revealed something comforting. My first EP was about the soul, the second about the body, and the third about the mind. Each one opened a different door, and together they gave closure to what I started. Maybe, if the layers keep unfolding, there will be more chapters, but as of now this is it.”

Parat, as a series, showcases AFKAP not only as a lyricist and rapper but as a conceptual artist, weaving sonic universes with visual storytelling. The trilogy’s aesthetic is integral to its meaning, representing the imaginative design of AFKAP, who has seamlessly bound the auditory and visual narratives to create an immersive whole. As part of the trilogy series, AFKAP  has collaborated with Tricksingh, 1Bharg and Calm, Karan Kanchan, Eyepatch, Mac Kay, and Zero Chill.
