Three years ago, seven individuals from Rawalpindi decided to pay a tribute to their city and came up with Pindi Aye. The hip-hop track featuring seven solo rap stars became an instant favourite. The collaboration featured Osama Karamat, popularly known as Osama Com Laude (OCL), along with Hashim Nawaz, Ghauri, Zeeru, Shuja Shah, Khawar Malik, and Hamzee. The viral hit is still popular and relevant and its view count on YouTube has reached 22 million. So, the boys have geared up and come up with a new, more electrifying and catchy 2.0 version of Pindi Aye. And this time it is not just a collaboration. The seven solo artists have formed a music band – Pindi Boyz – to take their musical journey to the next level. Osama Karamat spoke to a publication and shared about how they came up with the new version of their hit track. “History has seen great sequels with films. Only recently the culture of sequels, or 2.0’s, started happening in music, more frequently in Bollywood. While they do more of a remake or ‘newer’ version, our track is definitely not that exclusively. The idea of Pindi Aye 2.0 was a no brainer because since we decided to finally officially form a group, it was only right that we launch ourselves with Pindi Aye 2.0,” Osama said.
