Hindi Rap rewards close listening. Pay attention to the wordplay, the switch between languages and the way a verse sits on the beat.

Start with one artist and play their tracks in order before jumping around. On FreeQue, Teesra's three tracks are a good place to begin.

If you don't understand every word, listen for flow, delivery and mood first. Lyrics can come later.
