Glad to meet popular Odia rapper Samir Rishu Mohanty aka Rapper Big Deal. Born to a Japanese Maa and an Odia Bapa, his multicultural upbringing is as fascinating as his music. Breaking stereotypes, one at a time, Samir has carved out a unique space for himself in the world of hip hop and popular music. Youngsters like him are true flag bearers of our culture, language and heritage. Wish Samir the best. May he continue to touch people’s heart and soul with his music. | Dharmendra Pradhan
