Dharmesh Parmar aka MC Tod Fod was one of the finest hip-hop musicians in the independent scene. His lyrics spoke the truth and captivated hearts of thousands of hip-hop lovers. A Naigon, Mumbai resident, Parmar grew up with an old Bollywood soul and eventually fell in love with rap after listening to rap songs on Vh1. Swadesi rooted his love for hip-hop even deeper. 

Earlier this year in May, we lost MC Tod Fod to a severe cardiac arrest. He was barely 24 and left his friends, family, and everyone in the independent space in shock. A musician with such deep vision and impactful voice, his music is a legacy that Swadesi would carry forever. And for the same, the indie hip-hop band has come up with a crowdfunding campaign to honor and celebrate MC Tod Fod and his music. 

Aiming to conduct a 2-day long music festival, Dharmesh`s crew matest at Swadesi will now carry on the flag of his spirit and music forever. These two days will begin with the `Tod Fod` followed by celebrating Dharmesh`s life via Live HipHop Music, Flow Arts and Graffiti.

Funds from the music festival will be used to conduct a music festival in honor of the indie musician and creating TODFOD.org, a virtual museum containing thousands of pieces of his music, memories, and video clips shared by his close ones. 

All profits from the merchandise and event will be split in: 

- Family - 60% of the share will go to his family for a secure future

- Online Museum - 20% to build the website that will also include his unreleased work

- Environment - 20% will go to Aarey Forest and Mumbai`s ecology since the rapper was passionate about such conservation activities

We hope you`re in a better place today, Parmar. Being a loyal supporter and encourager of independent music, we are proud of what Swadesi is doing here. This is our
