Mass Appeal India has added a new member to its roster. Nas and his Mass Appeal Records offshoot have announced the signing of Raja Kumari, the first female rapper signed to the label.
“When I first met Raja, I knew she was someone the world needs to hear,” Nas said in a press release. “Her presence exudes confidence and individuality — a true artist with global appeal. We’re thrilled to have her on the team as the first lady of Mass Appeal India.”
Kumari is a Grammy-nominated artist who’s written songs for Iggy Azalea, Gwen Stefani, Fifth Harmony and Fall Out Boy. In April, the Indian-American songwriter will release a single titled “NRI” as her Mass Appeal India debut.

“I’m so excited to be joining Mass Appeal family,” she said. “Ever since I fell in love with Hip Hop, it has been a dream of mine to work with Nas. Their vision of bringing Indian Hip Hop to the international market is inspiring and I look forward to working together to achieve that goal.”
Mass Appeal India was launched as a partnership between Mass Appeal and Universal Music India in August 2019. Kumari joins DIVINE, the label’s first signee, on the imprint’s roster.
“Raja Kumari is going to play a crucial role in the growth of Hip Hop in India,” Mass Appeal CEO Peter Bittenbender stated. “We are excited to have her on the team and we can’t wait to introduce her talent to the world.”

Lmfaooooo nas looks like an indian
You can’t see black & brown can you? You white kkk mutha! Brown people helped build the west too… Give some props to real indians making it happen,
Try tellin niggas in QB nas is a joke…jokes on you keyboard thug
Try telling dudes in Los Angeles that Nas is a joke and they would laugh at that hater and stomp him out. Nas is true hiphop.
Fuck u talking bout everybody in QB knows nas is a fake backstabbing cornball
This is some end of the world shit.
Yall tripping nas on some shit
Fuck these towelhead ass street shitters
She fits Nas’ Mass Appeal imprint perfectly. I can feel this being a real hit for the ladies
Black women dancing to “you don’t even know where you came from” on IG…sounds like a Boondocks episode
You sound incredibly foolish.. u trolling?? Even from your previous comment. For one are u under the impression that only black people listen to hip hop?? Two what are u even talking about? She’s fire.. I can see her growing in hip hop she keep making good songs. Stop the hate.
So you make a declarative statement about me sounding foolish and then ask me if I’m under the impression that only black people listen to hip hop…you sound slow. I don’t care how “fire” you think she is, no way I’m helping someone outside of my own kind if you going to speak on a group of people then brag about how royalty in your bloodline. Okay, then keep building your own on your own. Don’t come to me because my people don’t know where they came from and we built Hip Hop.
Nas signed her and she’s singing”you don’t even know where you came from”…lol she’s gonna use this music wave then bounce. I would’ve left her where I found her and got at Jean Grae. They gonna use Hip Hop but still be against the people who made it…but if people in hip hop want to give it away, it’s all good…let the trash take itself out. Thats why Hip Hop is aging poorly
She’s repping her own heritage while showing love for hip hop. It’s called unity idiots. If hiphop were to age in a healthy manner, this would be the perfect start. I welcome her. This shit is fire dude. Fuck y’all talking about
Meh she alright wouldn’t support her album but as a guest on other artists album yeah i love Nas but he’s inviting Middle Eastern people into our culture and from what i heard yeah they like hip-hop but don’t like us as a people
I’d really suggest you to finish your school moron. India is 360 degree opposite to middle East, both culturally and literally. Because of people like you, the whole world thinks of Americans as dumb sacks of bones.
Sounds like generic pop to me and not original at all. Reminds me of English rappers in the 90s trying hard to sound New York. Not impressed
a 90s sound, like actual hip hop…you can feel it in her voice, she has the love.
she gonna make some good moves. the game needs this…
