The underground artist Inspectah Gracious has come up with a new out-of-the-box Hip Hop single. The song aptly named “Hush Haters” is aiming to live up to its name and create new waves in the music industry.
Inspectah Gracious (Inspectah G) is known for her previous songs such as “Hip Hop’s Soldier”, “Magic”, “Voices In My Head” which experiments with a couple of genres like R&B, Old School, Drill, and has been featured in esteemed publications such as Rolling Stone India, Daily Music, LiveLee, and Genesis India. She started her career with Rap music and has been earning acclaim and praise in the niche segment of the Indian underground rap movement. Inspectah G will be exploring even more genres of music in 2023.
With no industry godfathers or connections, Inspectah G is a self-made artist, hustling to rise up to the Industry bias. Being a female artist in the music industry comes with a daily dose of challenges even for Inspectah –
“You have to overcome a daily dose of sexism with people in the music industry. A female artist is criticised and scrutinised much more than a male artist. Female musicians are sometimes criticized for being too sexual, as well as for not being sexual enough. They are criticized either for being too feminine or for being too manly. They can’t be outspoken or too fat. They are being criticized if they take a political stance through their songs”, says Inspectah.
However, she has never let such forms of criticism affect her work. She hopes to inspire more women to make their careers in music.
Inspectah G has released her new single HUSH HATERS today which is a message to all the people who’ve tried to pull her down.
‘This is not just a song, it’s an emotion. It’s a message to all ‘em lying folks who tried to pull me down with their bullsh*t’, she says.
She is from the second generation of the Hip Hop scene in Mumbai and has been making a name for herself with her powerful beats and lyrics. Hush Haters is a message to everyone who has ever doubted or done her wrong. With this song, Inspectah G proves that she is a force to be reckoned with.
Inspectah takes her musical inspiration from the Western American and East Asian cultures. This influence is clearly evident to anyone who listens to her music.
