Born and raised in Goa, far from the hustle of Mumbai’s music industry, Tsumyoki is rewriting the rules of Indian hip-hop. At just 22, he’s already signed to Divine’s Gully Gang and crafting a sound that fuses trap, pop, and local Goan vibes with English lyricism and raw emotion.

Whether he’s spitting bars about ambition, heartbreak, or identity, his music hits with both intensity and intention. In this episode, we dive into the evolution of an outsider turned pioneer. How did a kid from Goa catch the ear of India’s top hip-hop label? What does it mean to make English rap in a multilingual country? And how is Tsumyoki blending local roots with global sounds to make something entirely his own?
