UDAY’s new single Hashtags, released on June 2, 2025, challenges the social media-driven rap culture with raw lyricism and a grounded message, pushing Desi Hip-Hop back to its authentic roots.

UDAY is not here to play games. Dropped on June 2, 2025, his latest single Hashtags is a direct hit on the trend-chasing culture that’s taken over much of mainstream rap. With production, mixing, and mastering handled by the ever-reliable @INFRNO, and recorded at S.I.K.K. and Ace Studios, this release feels grounded in realness and raw execution, exactly what Desi Hip-Hop needs right now.

Not for the Trends, and That’s the Point

The track doesn’t try to impress the algorithm. It doesn’t beg for clout. And most importantly, it doesn’t fall into the trap of crafting bars just to go viral. Instead, UDAY stays laser-focused on lyricism, intent, and authenticity.

He says it outright: “This shit isn’t for the hashtags.” That’s not just a line, it’s the backbone of the track. Another standout punch? “Na dekhu kuch / Abhi bole that they keep it a hundred I keep it a million more.” That energy defines the whole vibe.

Sonically, Hashtags sits in a moody pocket, gritty bass, sharp transitions, and a flow that stays unpredictable but never messy. INFRNO’s production gives the bars enough breathing space, making UDAY’s delivery even more impactful.

Final Thoughts

On the surface, this might sound like a takedown of internet culture, but it’s more layered than that. It’s a message to Desi Hip-Hop: remember your roots, respect the pen, and don’t trade integrity for impressions. UDAY isn’t calling himself the face of the scene, he’s showing what it looks like to stand firm in it.

The reception? Nothing short of fire. Listeners are already calling him the future of Indian hip-hop, not because he’s flashy, but because he’s fearless. And that’s what sticks.

Hashtags isn’t loud for the sake of being loud. It’s confident, calculated, and brutally honest, a reminder that real bars don’t need gimmicks. 

UDAY isn’t chasing hashtags. He’s building a catalog that might just outlive them. In a space often clogged with noise, this one cuts clean through. Simple. Sharp. Real.
