About Prabh Deep: New Delhi front runners Prabh Deep and Sez recently released the song ‘G Maane’ which is the second drop from their upcoming album ‘Classsikh’ that was a true banger. Prabh Deep started his journey as a Hindi- Punjabi emcee. Soon he went on to write songs and sing them too. His song is focused on his struggle and his feelings towards the mainstream industry that does not allow true talent to thrive. He goes in hard, and in a wicked word-play calls out the, ‘Censor Board’. The vocals go through several transitions from organically stacked to an electronic Kendrick like vibe, and keep the listener hooked to the tune. Sez has been involved in the studio with Prabh Deep for more than 1.5 years and has supported Prabh as a perfectionist.
