In this episode we sit with Raja Kumari, aka Svetha Yallapragada Rao, a world renowned Telugu-American rapper, Grammy-nominated songwriter, singer, previously first female rapper to be signed to Nas' label Mass Appeal Records, now the founder of her own label; Godmother Records. In this heartwarming conversation, we discuss her growing up with classical dance and music influences, going on to train in Bharatnatyam, Kathak and Kuchipudi as well as discovering rap and hip hop at an early age. We talk about what it means to represent the diaspora as a Telugu woman within mainstream music in India, all the way from underground hip hop and rap to high-flying Bollywood. We also cover some of the incredible projects she's worked on, including her rap in Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan Title Track, as well as the release of her new album 'The Bridge' and her 2023 North America tour. We also revel in the impact manifestation has had towards her professional goals and dreams, of course while discussing the challenges along the way, We also chat about what spurred her on to create her record label: 'Godmother Records' where she now aims to provide opportunities to young, up and coming South Asian artists.
