All of the unique pieces put together a puzzle that will be talked about for many years to come. Laddi Bath’s album consists of both party tracks and slow songs appealing to everybody.


GOP incorporates all of his hardships and realities into his music lyrically and emotionally. Being raised on the streets gave Gop a street sense that earned him street credence and respect, but a lot of trouble at home. Gop struggled living with his brother, going to College during the day and hustling at night to make his and his brothers rent. This is when Gop’s talents were truly put together. His street smarts and natural intelligence along with the hunger to do well in school formed an intellectual, introspective and life experienced New York City and Indian cultured Rapper from Queens. Gop speaks about being inspired by rappers like NAS, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, and LL Cool Jay. He has always been the guy that glows under the spot light. He was a member of a dance crew in the U.K, and Cleveland, and won the Mr. India New York competition in Queens. He was also featured in the Bollywood hit film “Kal Ho Na Ho”, but Hip Hop was always where his heart was. Gop’s meaningful flows garnered him immediate attention from big Asian Producers like Panjabi MC, who collaborated with him in the United Kingdom and India. Sony BMG released his single titled “Why Don’t They Care” in India, where he flowed in his native language Panjabi.
