Pakistani musician Ahmad Arain continues to make waves with his compelling fusion of hip-hop, rap, and drill music. His recent single “DEADLINE,” which dropped in late 2023, has been turning heads with its fresh take on these genres, while building anticipation for his next major project.
The rising artist recently shared exciting news about his upcoming four-track EP “Daku,” set to hit streaming platforms in 2025. While fans eagerly await the release, they can currently enjoy “DEADLINE” – a punchy 2-minute-30-second track that perfectly captures Arain’s signature flow and fresh take on the genre. The track, which can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer, has also been reimagined as a lo-fi version, showcasing the artist’s range and overall versatility.
Discussing his musical roots, Arain doesn’t hesitate to name Sidhu Moose Wala as his biggest inspiration. “Man, Sidhu just changed the game for all of us. Everything about his music – the way he wrote, the way he delivered – that’s what made me want to make music in the first place,” Arain reflected. This admiration shows in his work, as he blends traditional Punjabi elements with modern hip-hop/drill beats.
The young artist’s dedication to his craft extends beyond performing – he pens his own lyrics and is heavily involved in the production process, ensuring each track authentically represents his overall vision. His music video for “DEADLINE,” available on YouTube, offers viewers a glimpse into the track with a nice heavy weapon visual nuance.
Fans can keep up with Arain’s journey through his active social media presence on Instagram and Facebook, where he regularly shares updates about his work and connects with his growing audience. His emergence in the Pakistani music scene marks an exciting development in the evolution of Punjabi hip-hop and drill music.
As the countdown to “Daku” begins, fans are watching closely to see how this promising artist will continue to push boundaries and redefine the genre. If “DEADLINE” is any indication, listeners can expect a powerful blend of hard-hitting beats, solid vocals, and innovative sound in his upcoming EP.
