Uptown Lokolz Offi CIAL

Article about UL on The Daily Star ( Jukebox Hero ) Uptown Lokolz, a crew of misfits whose members lived the life they glorified, created their own legend. Formed by faces almost everybody new, the band made the best use of word of mouth and viral marketing. Uptown Lokolz refused to be a band and instead focused on being a movement. Their debut album, Kahini Scene Paat was a runaway success. The undeniable talent of Black Zang (Sohan), Bigg Spade and former member Safa made for delightful hearing. It wasn't all about cars they didn't drive, guns they didn't shoot and girls that didn't like them and when it was about those things, it was more playful than anything else. Black Zang's lyrical prowess gained him a large following but it was Safa, the one that got away, who built a real loyal following. Dropping verses in typical Dhakaiya Bangla, Safa can be credited with inventing the Bangla rap style, with his tongue in cheek hooks and punch lines always generating a reaction.Their debut album also spawned perhaps Bangladesh's biggest rap hit in the form of Ai Mama Ai. Rumours of arrests, beat downs and unbridled bravado only made UL more famous. Energy packed live performances by both UL helped bring forth a whole new generation to hip hop. The band duo, inevitably, had a brief feud but it was never something of note. Uptown Lokolz had transcended from being legends in their own rhymes to actually being legends in the annals of Deshi hip-hop history.
