Delhi-based rapper Prabh Deep’s single ‘Chitta’ out exclusively on Resso

Playback singer and rapper Prabh Deep’s Punjabi single Chitta has been released exclusively on music streaming app Resso on May 29. Chitta is the first single off Delhi-based phenomenon Prabh Deep's sophomore album which lays down the sonic foundation upon which one of Asia's most anticipated albums is built. 

The 3 minutes 27 seconds long single has been written, performed and produced by Prabh, with additional instrumentation by Hashbass, aka Bass, and mixed by Lavar Bullard. Since the release of his seminal debut album Class-Sikh, Prabh Deep has established himself as one of the region's most innovative and captivating artists.

The idea for Chitta emerged from multiple writing sessions where Prabh was trying to explore writing from the perspective of a fictional character - a concept and process that he had been keen on exploring since the character started taking shape in his head. The energetic and club-friendly beat is built around a captivating flute sample and features Delhi-based virtuoso and frequent collaborator Hashbass, who decided to jump on the project as soon as Prabh played him the beat.
