Kaushik’s ‘Desi Trapstar’ is a defiant narrative experience

Mumbai, 15^th December 2025: Haryana’s underground sound finds a bold new voice as Kaushik recently released his debut full-length album, Desi Trapstar, a genre-bending project that reimagines Haryanvi music through the lens of global trap, pop, and hip-hop culture. Released on 6 November 2025, the album marks a defining moment for the region’s new-wave artists, pushing regional language and identity into contemporary sonic territory.

Structured as a 10-track album interspersed with four cinematic skits, Desi Trapstar is as much a narrative experience as it is a musical one. The project moves fluidly between emotionally raw storytelling, aggressive hardcore rap, high-energy rage tracks, and a desi-leaning commercial record designed for wider appeal, showcasing Kaushik’s range and creative intent.

Speaking about the album, Kaushik shares, “This project is me proving that Haryanvi music can evolve, experiment, and still feel authentic. Desi Trapstar is personal, but it’s also a blueprint for the new wave coming from our side.”

Desi Trapstar is streaming across all major platforms.
