missionkiawaazRudra dubey, who is better known as Rexion is a musician and rapper, who was born in New delhi and raised in Bhopal. The lad began his career in 2020, when hip-hop wasn’t popular on the local streets.
Rexion is a 18 year old rapper from Bhopal. He recently dropped a track “STRUGGLE” and is highly appreciated in the music industry. He has been writing since three years.
Revealing what first sparked his interest in rap music, he recalls, “In 2014, I used to watch international musicians appearing in music videos and on television, and it looked like that was not part of our Indian culture at the time.
After all of this,I listened to Honey singh and was shocked to hear a Punjabi rap. I was inspired by that and decided that we should rap in Hindi, which was our native language.”
“Hip-hop was first introduced to me by a friend back then. I used to listen bollywood songs like and had no idea what hip-hop was before that. He then made me listen to Eminem’s ‘Rap God’.I was mesmerised by everything that was going on in the song, including the beats, melody, and of course the sonics, even though I had no idea what was going on,” Rexion describes thinking back to his upbringing and the music culture.
“I have always been more interested in things that are creative. I never had much interest in the typical 9-5 workday and simply wanted to come up with something original,” adds the hitmaker reminiscing about how he’d once jot down lyrics and memorise them while using the internet in local cyber cafes. However, success didn’t come easy to him. For an independent artist like him, overcoming obstacles was necessary in order to sustain in the music industry.
For the Indian rapper, music has been a go-to outlet for expressing both his rage toward social institutions and conflicts and his optimism for a future free of such restraints. He says, “I have used my music to spread messages about social issues and some challenges that the society has been confronting.
The rapper discusses the influence of social media on the music industry and claims that it has changed how people work. “Previously, it took 3-4 years to create an album, but now it only takes a month or so. Additionally, I think that because of reel culture, songs only have a lifespan of 15 to 20 seconds these days. Due to the growth of social media, people have stopped appreciating good music and have lost their taste in it ” he concludes signing off.
