One of our favorite labels here on the West Coast, Rukus Avenue, has some awesome stocking stuffers for our listeners! Check out Rasika’s Mathur Sari (W)rap a complication of poetry, outrageous humor and spoken word. Rasika was a part of Nick Cannon’s Wild n Out team on MTV, I know it’s been a long road for Rasika, I’ve been waiting for this album for a couple years and I wasn’t disappointed. Most of the lyrics are explicit – but f**king hilarious!

Sammy Chand, the founder and CEO of Rukus Avenue put out his own album of world beats that will take your ears into a musical orgasm. Over the years Rukus Avenue brought us one of the first South Asian Hip Hop groups Karmacy and solo artist Sandeep. The world beats take me on a wild ride of eastern fusion meets Sammy’s musical talent. Check out Tale of a Crown for those of you who love instrumentals that tells a story.

As promised in one of the UDR video diaries, Rukus Avenue artist Rasika Mathur will be dropping her album soon. She recently posted “I think I’m going to kamasutura” it will be making it’s radio debut on Urban Desi Radio TONIGHT! Be sure to tune in!

Tonight we will be featuring Sandeep, from Rukus Avenue, his album is called “From The Outside” we’ll be playing “just breathe” featuring Sundanse.

This sums up Sandeep perfectly….

“Often described but seldom achieved, From the Outside, the debut from Rukus Avenue artist Sandeep, encapsulates an entire generation’s voice and a musical expression fit for the most elegant of seduction in a single stroke.”

In the next couple of weeks, we will be playing more tracks from Sandeep’s album. Let me tell you… these are HOT tracks….
