Raja Kumari, India’s leading Indian American female rapper, continues to break boundaries by seamlessly merging her Indian heritage with modern hip-hop. Her latest track, “JUICE,” produced by Nacho Larraza and Karan Pandav, combines infectious beats, clever lyrics, and Raja Kumari’s signature delivery, resulting in a catchy and meaningful song.
A Music Video That Empowers
What truly distinguishes “JUICE” is its music video, which exudes an empowering and culturally celebratory aura. Directed by Keerthi Raju and choreographed by Piyush and Shazia, the video transports viewers to a quintessential Bollywood setting from the 90s. Raja Kumari seamlessly blends her hip-hop persona with traditional Indian aesthetics, captivating the audience with her mesmerizing ensemble and dancing flair.
But this video is more than just a visual treat; it’s a powerful statement of empowerment. Raja Kumari challenges conventional beauty standards, embracing diversity and inclusivity, and promoting self-love and body positivity.
Raja Kumari’s Vision
Raja Kumari shares her inspiration behind the video, stating, “Growing up, watching Bollywood films, I always felt empowered by watching these beautiful women dance, but it was always in the context of the male gaze. I wanted to change this narrative, so I’ve created something that represents a shift to a woman’s point of view – a celebration of self-love. It’s all about embracing who I am and my body without any reservations. I’ve merged the essence of Indian Cinema with my East-West fusion sound to create something unique. The concept has captivated me for quite some time, and finally, I’ve brought it to life. My intention is to provoke thought and inspire movement through dance and reclaim that original charm that captivated me as a child.”
