    WATCH: Lilly Singh Reimagines Bollywood Hits As Rap Songs, Takes Internet By Storm

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Mar, 2019 12:23 AM

      Indian-Canadian YouTube star known as Superwoman dropped a rap video with banging beats and lyrics that would make MC Lyte proud.

       

      Only, in her signature style, Lilly Singh does more than just translate the lyrics - she uses them as tools to touch upon an array of topics like beauty standards for women, body positivity, issues related to mental health, bisexuality and more.

       

      The video uses the music of three songs - Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai, All Izz Well and Aankh Marey.

       

      "I love Bollywood and I love rap music. So I decided to let my worlds collide by turning some of my favourite songs into rap songs! And while I was at it, I thought, why not make them little motivational anthems that speak to causes close to my heart?" wrote Lilly while sharing the video.

       

      Watch the video below:
