Vichaar releases his new EP “VVVV” with tracks like “Backbencher,” “That Shit Hard,” and “Paycheck.” Here’s an in-depth review of the project, its features, and why it matters for Desi Hip-Hop in 2025

Vichaar has always stood out as a thoughtful, lyrically sharp voice in Desi Hip-Hop. From his Dehradun roots to MTV Hustle 4.0, he’s been carving his space with intention. And now, on June 30, 2025, he takes a bold step forward with his new EP, VVVV. With four tracks that explore different shades of his artistry, this project feels less like a casual drop and more like a statement of purpose.

We at Desi Rap Network already explored the chaotic brilliance of “3 DRAGS” when it dropped. But now that the full EP is here, it’s clear this is a larger vision, a project where every track pulls its weight and paints a unique piece of Vichaar’s musical mindset.

“That Shit Hard” brings an unapologetic edge. Featuring Prathamesh, Abhin Pandita, and Prathamesh Raut, the track packs gritty flows and high-octane production. It’s not just about flexing, it’s about declaring presence.

Each verse holds its own, giving the song a competitive tension that keeps listeners locked in. Vichaar isn’t playing safe here, and that risk pays off.

Then comes “Backbencher,” a track that turns the classroom metaphor into a deeper commentary. Teaming up with Abhin Pandita again, Vichaar delivers something raw and introspective. The term ‘backbencher’ becomes a symbol of those who are underestimated, often misunderstood, but quietly absorbing everything.

The beat is calm, but the message hits home. For anyone who’s ever felt sidelined, this one cuts deep.

“Paycheck” ends the EP on a collaborative high. Siyaahi, KILLSWITCH, Abhin Pandita, Aniket Bhat, and Armaan Yadav bring their individual flavors to this posse cut. But don’t let the title fool you, this isn’t just about chasing bags.

Vichaar’s verse anchors the track with a bigger question: what does success really mean when art is at the center? It’s that balance between hustle and heart that makes this track resonate.

The name VVVV might sound cryptic at first, but that’s the beauty of it. Whether it stands for four voices, four visions, or simply represents a frequency of thought, Vichaar leaves it open to interpretation. And that’s very on-brand for him, to provoke thought rather than prescribe answers.

Sonically, the EP doesn’t chase trends. Instead, it focuses on authenticity. There’s a deliberate rawness in the production that complements the honesty in the lyrics. From start to finish, there’s no filler here, just focused, intentional music.

One thing that really stands out is the chemistry between the featured artists. Abhin Pandita appears across multiple tracks, making it clear that this creative partnership is more than just a feature, it’s foundational.

The guest verses on “Paycheck” also deserve praise, especially for the way each artist brings their truth to the table without stepping on each other’s shine.

For 2025, VVVV is exactly the kind of project that deserves attention. It doesn’t scream for streams. Instead, it invites replay. It doesn’t rely on viral gimmicks, but rather on real experiences and thoughtful execution. And in today’s fast-moving Desi Hip-Hop scene, that’s refreshing.

If you’ve been following Vichaar’s journey, from underground cyphers to Hustle to now, VVVV feels like a natural progression. It’s sharp, grounded, and emotionally intelligent. And if this EP is a glimpse of where he’s headed, then Desi Hip-Hop is in for something special.
