Rapper Badshah whose latest ‘Abhi toh party shuru hui hai’ recently won the best song of the year, is basking in the glory of his new hit ‘DJ wale babu’ featuring Aastha Gill. He feels the song is not a normal party song, and in an interview said, “The music is very simple and it’s not your regular party song. It’s a bit laidback… this is one party song that you just do not want to dance to only, but also listen.” He feels that “the hook kind of gets stuck in people’s head” and said it is a “mid-tempo” song and that he “enjoyed” making it.
“It’s not a typical party anthem, you know the party songs playing these days. It’s a mid-tempo party song that you can vibe (also) dance to it. I was enjoying while making this song.”
The singer is particularly ecstatic about the song’s success as this is his first single and the first time somebody collaborated with him instead of it being the other way round. “It is my first solo song. I have featured for other people. Whichever song I have done — be it ‘Saturday Saturday’ in which I featured for Indeep Bakshi, ‘Proper patola’ in which I featured for Diljit Dosanjh. But ‘DJ waley babu’ is my first solo independent song. This is the first time someone else has collaborated with me, someone else is featuring in my song, and it feels amazing, I am finally doing my own thing.”
The song was launched on Hungama and ranked number three within 24 hours of release on the platform. The song also crossed a million views on Youtube within 40 hours.
