Can't connect the dots? That’s only because you missed HIP HOP TAMIZHA,the most exciting,energy-skyrocketing ,awe-inspiring concert to have ever happened in the history of MIT since Karthick 3 years back.

Adhi, the man behind the birth of Hiphop Tamizha with his talented band literally set the stage on fire with their overwhelming introduction as to what hip hop was all about.

Hiphop is not just long Tshirts,baggy pants and saying Yo-Yo , he told the crowd.

Why Hiphop Tamizha? We got the answer to that when we got a lecture on how the dudes go “Wassup Bro/Dude/Homey” and the girls go “Hey you know what ya ….”.
 Quit the act and speak in Tamil,he says.

“Ennaku konjam konjam than Tamil theriyum ,Tamil theriyum” –  He made the crowd repeat this a zillion times to stress how silly leave alone plain desperate it looks when youngsters do the “I know only English act”

They had just 10 minutes to carry out their entire sound check completed, yet not a single complaint, not the slightest fuss. Dressed in black with red shoes to die for ,  Adhi made each and every person in the OAT fall in love with him that day. Not for his hip-hop antics, not for his adorable looks but for what he believed in. From voting to education to women empowerment, the songs weren’t about some long lost love but issues of society.

While he stressed on the value of 99% women on one side, he sent the the reputation of the remaining 1 % down the drain with the hit song of the day “Club illa ,mubbula…. Ladies ellarokom vannakamanga”

“MIT , make some noiseeeeee….” Bharadwaj Balaji aka Beat Box Machine BBB ,India’s first harmonica beatboxer enthralled the audience with drums,harmonics and what not flying out of his mouth. “Boom jhak chak chak boom chakk chakk boom”  he went  and the crowd went crazy. Siraj did the vocals , Suzanne wowed us with her strong attractive voice and the Bboyers led by Bboy Bravo introduced us to the authentic breakdancing .

Cant forget the campus’ own boy Fenny Daniel , a first year student who must have pinched himself for he was standing on stage with the Hip Hop Tamizha group,performing with them. They had picked him up for his extraordinary violin playing skills.And boy was he in heaven !

Remember that lone teacher that makes class both informative as well as fun? Well, Adhi just donned that role. No matter who he introduced , no matter what issue he highlighted ,no matter how he insulted/praised the girls, in the end the spotlight was only reserved for Adhi.

Here’s to the band that prefers to remain Underground !
