‘Shikayat’ by Akki On The Mic is an emotionally rich Hindi rap song dropped on 5 June 2025. A subtle, heartfelt entry in Desi Hip-Hop that deserves more ears.

On June 5, 2025, a voice rose not to shout, but to speak softly to the soul, and sometimes, that’s exactly what hits the hardest. ‘Shikayat’ by Akki On The Mic, produced by the ever-consistent @karyabeatz, is a track that didn’t arrive with fireworks, but instead, with a raw truth only felt in silence. This is not just another single. It’s a personal note folded into rhyme and melody, and Akki, without chasing clout, proves his pen bleeds vulnerability.

Music Production by Karyabeatz: Simple and Soulful

@karyabeatz crafts a subtle yet emotionally charged instrumental here. No flashy production tricks, just ambient layers and clean snares that leave enough breathing space for Akki’s words. It’s the kind of beat that understands its place: behind the artist, never overshadowing.

Lyrics of Shikayat: Deep, Personal, and Poetic

From the opening lines – “Main likhne ko baitha tha teri shikayat, abhi fir yaad aaya apno ko badnaam karte nahi”, Akki sets the tone for a story that’s introspective rather than accusatory. It’s rare to see a rapper pause mid-grievance to show restraint, but Akki does it with poetic maturity. Instead of dwelling in anger, he writes with understanding and restraint, channeling inner conflict with beautifully written lines like:

“Main meri aakhri saanson mein hoon gum par, meri aakhri saanson mein bhi tum.”

That’s not heartbreak – it’s surrender. It’s love refusing to become resentment.

Fans React to Shikayat: Pure Emotion Over Views

In the sea of noise, ‘Shikayat’ found those who truly listen. Fans weren’t just vibing, they were relating, quoting, even responding with their own lines of poetry. One listener, clearly touched, reflected on losing direction in search of someone who no longer waits. Others echoed that the song deserved to go viral, not because of hype, but because it made them feel.

That’s the key difference: Akki didn’t aim for a million views, he aimed for one genuine connection at a time.

Why Akki’s Shikayat Deserves More Attention

At a time when Desi Hip-Hop is exploding with braggadocio and big-budget flexing, ‘Shikayat’ is a reminder that some of the best writing happens in the quiet corners. Akki isn’t trying to be the loudest voice in the room. He’s the one sitting at the back, writing verses that cut deeper with each listen.

This isn’t just underrated, it’s underheard.
