Raftaar, Nucleya, Raja Kumari to judge show for rappers

MUMBAI: Rappers Raftaar and Raja Kumari along with electronic music producer Nucleya are on a hunt for India's hip-hop star.

The three will turn judges for MTV Hustle, which is a reality show for rappers.

Under their mentorship, select contestants will undergo rigorous training and gruelling face-offs to emerge as the best.

"Rap has enabled artistes to push boundaries in music and express themselves to the best of their creative finesse," Nucleya said in a statement.

"I am delighted to be a part of a concept like MTV Hustle that sets the stage for undiscovered talents to excel in the genre. This is one reality show that India truly needs.

"It's also my debut on national television which heightens the excitement further. I hope to be of value to the contestants as a mentor and musician and inspire them to perform better," he added.

Raftaar has created the music track for the show that will go on air in August.
