Hard Kaur happy with rap culture in Bollywood
Rapper Hard Kaur is happy that a lot of Bollywood songs have included raps in their songs and it has become popular among the masses.
The singer, who has rapped in movies like "Johny Gaddar", "Ugly Aur Pagli" and "Patiala House", always wanted to expand the reach of the genre.
"I always wanted to educate people about hip-hop music. The best way to introduce more people to the music is through Bollywood, which helped me to spread the fever of hip-hop and rap music. I have been here for five years and I see so many people trying rap already," Kaur told IANS.
The singer was at Radio Mirchi 93.3 FM's campaign Bol Story Bol here. The channel distributed audio books marking their 11th birthday.
