Warboy x DEVM, winners of Red Bull Spotlight 2019, have released the first single off their upcoming debut album, Out of the Blue. Titled Ek Chhoti Si Umeed, the track is available across all streaming platforms and accompanied by a music video.

In June last year, the duo – Ashutosh Rai aka Warboy and Devam Pandey aka DEVM – went up against finalists from nine other cities across the country at the national final in Mumbai, before being selected as the winners by a jury consisting of rap groups Seedhe Maut, Swadesi and Dopeadelicz.

“It was really fun to see all the new rappers and what they can do not just with the mic, but with the crowd, too. You don’t get to see that often. Warboy and his producer really had a great chemistry going on stage. Warboy’s delivery was really impactful the energy they brought on stage was unique. Loved that,“ said Seedhe Maut, of the duo’s performance at the national final.

As a result, they were given the opportunity to record their full-length album at a professional studio working with Bixtel, a young producer from the US a music video and a short documentary on their journey, produced by Red Bull Media House.

Says Warboy, “It has been a great experience overall and I’m happy with the way the album turned out. Working with Bixtel was a good experience. There were language barriers, but we managed to overcome them – we wrote down the lyrics of the songs, translated them to English and then explained the emotion behind the songs to him. I’m happy with the way the album has turned out and it has been a good experience overall. In 2020 I’m hoping to do a lot more work – I have been experimenting with new things, trying to work on my existing skills and learn new things as well.”

The duo’s debut album ‘Out of the Blue’ will be out across all streaming platforms on 24^th January.
