Naezy aka Naved Shaikh had become a sensation after he released his debut single Aafat in January 2014. The song quickly went viral garnering over million views.
After creating a frenzy for his much-awaited Aafat Wapas, Naezy released the freestyle rap on the Gully Beat app. Since it was announced that he would make a comeback, fans had been waiting with bated breath to hear the track.
The official Twitter handle of Gully Beat also announced the same. “#Aafat is back in town! Watch this OG freestyle on AafatWaapas only on GullyBeat. Record your #AafatWaapas Rap on #GullyBeat and win exciting merchandise!”, it read.
Naezy is one of the most popular underground rappers and Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy is loosely based on the lives of Divine and Naezy. The film beautifully chronicles the journey of Murad, who hails from the slums of Mumbai and achieves his dreams of becoming a popular rapper. Ranveer Singh won hearts through his spectacular performance.
