Indian hip-hop artist Panther steps into a major career moment with his entry into Red Bull 64 Bars, one of the most respected freestyle formats in global hip-hop.

Produced by Stunnah Beatz, Panther’s performance Hajamat is sharp, emotionally charged, and unapologetically honest. Crossing 83K+ views within its first week, the release struck a powerful chord with audiences, who connected deeply with its rooted storytelling, poetic edge, and commanding delivery.

Red Bull 64 Bars is known for hosting some of the most impactful names in Indian and international hip-hop, making Panther’s inclusion a significant recognition of his craft. His performance stands out for its restraint and confidence, allowing the bars to breathe while carrying the weight of lived experience. Rooted deeply in the cultural landscape of Uttar Pradesh, Panther’s delivery reflects the streets, dialects, and emotions that shape his music.
Often described as the only Indian rapper bringing Awadhi-Pop to the forefront, Panther has carved a unique sonic identity that blends regional culture with contemporary hip-hop. His sound is both desi at its core and globally polished, making him a compelling presence not just in music, but also across podcasts, interviews, and cultural conversations.
Speaking about the Red Bull 64 Bars experience, Panther shared that the format represents honesty, hunger, and skill — a space where rappers rely solely on their bars. Hajamat, he says, comes straight from the gut, reflecting his journey, mindset, and artistic evolution.
The release arrives during a standout year for the artist. With 1.3M+ monthly listeners and back-to-back hits like Pahiye, Manwa, and Bolo Bolo, Panther has shown rare consistency in both output and growth. His expanding discography and evolving sound have positioned him as one of the few young artists balancing volume with meaningful artistic progression.
Hailing from Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, Panther (Anubhav Shukla) first gained widespread recognition through MTV Hustle 2.0, where his honest writing and purpose-driven approach set him apart. Since then, tracks like Parinda, Galat Karam, Pahiye, Manwa, and Bolo Bolo have strengthened his reputation for street-rooted lyricism and raw truth.
Beyond solo releases, Panther has collaborated with artists across genres, showcasing versatility without compromising authenticity. His growing influence and cultural grounding make his Red Bull 64 Bars appearance not just a personal milestone, but a moment that reflects the evolving face of Indian hip-hop — where regional stories confidently claim global platforms.
As Panther continues to push boundaries with Awadhi-Pop and Hindi hip-hop, Hajamat stands as a reminder that real bars, real stories, and real conviction still hold power.
