Indian rap duo WANT3D makes a bold statement with their new track “MAD SHIT” under Def Jam India. Discover how underground voices are evolving and reshaping the Desi Hip-Hop (DHH) landscape with authentic storytelling and raw energy.

There’s a new charge running through Desi Hip-Hop, and it’s coming straight from the underground. Leading the charge are WANT3D – Pranav Raina and Nish, a duo that’s not just here to drop tracks, but to spark something deeper. Their latest release, “MAD SHIT,” dropped on June 4, 2025, under Def Jam India, with production handled by Starboibeatz. Right from the jump, it sets a tone that’s anything but mainstream. It’s intense, unapologetic, and loud in all the right ways.

A Sound That’s Raw and Real

Starboibeatz lays down a beat that punches without overpowering, letting WANT3D’s voice cut through like a knife. There’s no flash here, no unnecessary layers. It’s minimal, but that’s what makes it powerful. 

The kind of track you’d hear blasting in an alley after dark, or echoing through a local jam session where real heads gather.

The duo takes full control, writing, composing, and delivering bars that hit with full intent. Basspeak’s mix doesn’t smoothen the grit; it keeps the edge alive. This is a song built for the real ones, the ones who live and breathe hip-hop culture, not just follow it.

What the Streets Are Saying

Head over to the comments section and you’ll see the vibe. People aren’t just vibing, they’re invested. One listener drops a line: “Pahado ka raja tu basti ka hasti.” That’s more than a punchline, it’s a cultural bridge. 

It reflects exactly what WANT3D is doing: blending mountain roots with city heat. That duality? It’s rare. And fans are here for it.

To the people listening, WANT3D feels like one of their own. Not manufactured, not following algorithms, just two emcees telling it like it is. 

That’s why people are calling them the next big thing. Because this? This is what authentic hip-hop sounds like in today’s DHH space.

WANT3D’s Climb and Consistency

This isn’t their first mic drop. WANT3D’s journey already includes projects like “Stuck in My Head,” and standout singles like “Asar” and “Yaadein.” But “MAD SHIT“ marks a shift, it’s louder, more fearless, and it comes with the backing of a giant like Def Jam India.

Still, the best part? They haven’t switched up. No glossed-over production, no chasing clout. They’re growing, but they’re not selling out. Their style, part introspection, part street, isn’t bending to trends. It’s becoming its own trend.

Underground Artists, Frontline Impact

Underground artists have always been the heartbeat of DHH, and WANT3D is a prime example of why that pulse keeps getting stronger. They don’t just drop songs, they drop stories. Stories that sound like your neighborhood, your memories, your late-night thoughts.

The scene is changing. And it’s artists like WANT3D who are changing it. Fans are gravitating toward music with something real to say. 

They’re done with polished emptiness. They want hunger, struggle, and vision. That’s what WANT3D delivers, and that’s why their name keeps growing louder.

Wrapping It Up

“MAD SHIT” is more than just another underground banger, it’s a statement. From the beat to the bars, it screams authenticity. This track connects with people because it wasn’t made for the charts; it was made for the culture.

With Starboibeatz crafting a heavy-hitting instrumental and WANT3D delivering lines with razor-sharp precision, this song captures the raw essence of what underground Desi hip-hop stands for in 2025.

WANT3D isn’t following the path, they’re paving it. And with tracks like this, they’re proving the underground doesn’t need validation from the top. It’s rising on its own terms, and taking the culture with it.
