Mumbai, 4th September 2026: Red Bull 64 Bars – Season 4 is continuing to spotlight the distinct voices shaping Indian hip-hop, with Emiway Bantai, Dhanji and emerging rapper Naam Sujal bringing three very different stories to the series. In collaboration with Def Jam Recordings India, the latest season places individuality, lyricism and artistic identity at the centre, allowing each rapper to use the stripped-back 64-bar format to present their perspective without distraction.
The season opened with Ahmedabad’s Dhanji delivering ‘FUNK YOU PAY ME’, produced by Karan Kanchan, followed by Emiway Bantai and Memax’s ‘Safal’. Dhanji’s release leans into his distinctive delivery, multilingual wordplay and connection to Ahmedabad’s evolving hip-hop culture, while Emiway’s ‘Safal’ takes a more reflective route, drawing on his journey from being doubted to establishing an independent career. Both tracks demonstrate the creative freedom of Red Bull 64 Bars, where the rapper’s writing, personality and perspective remain the focus.

The season now turns to Naam Sujal’s ‘Bajesh Vishay’, produced by Hisab, bringing Nagpur and Vidarbha into the wider Indian hip-hop conversation. Built around regional identity, ambition, local references, sharp wordplay and social commentary, the track gives Sujal an opportunity to represent a scene beyond the traditional centres of Indian rap. Naam Sujal says: “‘Bajesh Vishay’ is very much about where I come from and where I want to go. I wanted to bring Nagpur and Vidarbha into the conversation and show people what’s happening here, while making sure my voice and my story can’t be ignored.”
Together, the three releases underline what continues to make Red Bull 64 Bars distinctive: the format strips things back to the artist, the beat and the bars, allowing different voices and cities to tell their own stories. Season 4 will also feature Vichaar, Shia OG, Yung Sammy, MC Gawthi, J Queen and Kid Mange, further widening the series’ representation of India’s evolving hip-hop landscape. With every release offering another perspective, Red Bull 64 Bars Season 4 continues to put the spotlight firmly where it belongs, on the bars.
