Who is Bohemia?
Bohemia is a Pakistani-American Punjabi Rapper. Ra or Raja aka Bohemia aka Bohemia The Punjabi Rapper. Bohemia was born as Roger David at October 15th 1979 in Karachi, Pakistan. He is recognized as the king of Punjabi rap and a PIONEER of Desi-Hip-Hop world-wide.

When Raja was only 14 his family immigrated from Pakistan to 'bay area'. While growing up in the rough streets of Oakland, CA, Raja used rapping as an outlet to escape from his thug life style. He took a bold step and became a local musician who played along with artists such as Sunil Khanna (you will find him listed in Sunil's bio) and Manesh Judge. Sunil has referred to 'Ra', as a great musician and a poet; Raja soon started putting his poetry to his music and gave birth to Bohemia, the punjabi rapper.

Through his experiences, come raw raps depicting not just California street life, but a life many South Asians lead in America. His lyrics are in Punjabi, while many of the hooks are in English. Raja looks up to artists such as Jagjit Singh and the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

First Album
Bohemia's first album, Vich Pardesan De (In The Foreign Lands), was released independently in 2002 and was soon among the top ten most requested songs on BBC radio 1 in the UK.

Second Album
His next album, Pesa Nasha Pyar (Money Drugs Love), was released in 2006 under Universal Music Group Pvt. Ltd. India and Ishq Records, UK making it the first ever full-length Desi-Rap album to be released by a major label. Hailing from California USA, Bohemia unloads automatic rounds of street-savvy Punjabi raps interlaced with pounding kicks, chunky bass lines and contagious melodies.

Third Album
This is Bohemia’s second official release in India after the earlier album Pesa Nasha Pyar introduced the sensational Punjabi rapper Bohemia to the nation and it’s his third release worldwide. Da Rap Star comes right after Bohemia’s Bollywood performances with Akshay Kumar, probably the right time to release an album.

Bollywood playback can really get you a lot of recognition across the globe. Da Rap Star has been written and produced entirely by Bohemia himself. This is something I like about the dude. The expectations are at an all time high especially after Pesa Nasha Pyar blew my mind away.

Biography: <<>>

BOHEMIAN: A person who does not follow conventional standards of behavior, expressing themselves in an artistic or literary way.

DESI: A descendant of Southern Asia, primarily India/Pakistan.

Careening down a crowded street with no breaks. Blunt in one hand, gun in the other. Radio on full blast. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Bohemia The Punjabi Rapper. Hailing from Oakland, California, Bohemia unloads automatic rounds of street-savvy Punjabi raps interlaced with pounding drum kicks, chunky bass lines and contagious melodies. This new genre of music, known as Desi Rap is not only for those who speak Punjabi, but for those who love rap music. Bohemia's lyrics expose us to the streets from a Desi point of view. His experience as a Desi youth in America is a life divided between the influence of Desi culture, and the influence of urban-American culture. Through his music, Bohemia unifies both cultures. "In this life out here I've encountered many things: murderers, friends, trust, deceit, love, sex, drugs and hip hop ~It can be a lot to swallow, but it's all just a day's work..." Strap on your seat belt and hit the blunt, it's time to enter the world of Bohemia.

Gal Gal te seena zori
bhang mei leke fira naal jada peeva thodi

gaddi ch betha mai navaab meri latta chaudi,
bola mai sach loki kehnde meri galla kaudi,

Bhang da rajja mainu kudiya de call aun,
jo vi mai manga mere waaste oh len jaan,

ghatt to ghat pava RocaWear Sean-John
ECKO di jutti meri veeni meri PHATFARM

jind jawani hor jeen di lod nahi,
lahu ch nasha menu peen di lod ni,

dil di manna manu deen di lod nahi,
maut de agge mere hor koi mod nahi,

mere to door rehnde munde mere haan de,
menu policewaale naa to pachande,

nashe ch gede maara kabarastan de,
yara nu chakkeya rabba meinu vi aan de,

Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...

galla galla ch main dassa(10)sala piche challa
dassa tuhanu kiven shuru kiti meine eh zindagani

shuru shuru ch na sharab na bhang,
na kise to tang na paise da ghum na mera dil nam,

sola saala da si mai bhang pehli waari pe mei,
kado shuru kiti sharab bhala dassa ki mai,

valaiti munda desi vekhan menu pardesi,
gore te kaaleya di dunia ch bhala ki mei,

lang gaye yaar, mere yara nu kara mein wade,
maut naal kheda mein theek ne mere irade,

school ch sikheya kakh mei likheya sach,
mein baneya ajj jo vi baneya mei appe bhajj,

kehna asaan aukha karke vikhana,
menu yaar kende raah fateh chakk de jawana,

mei pichde di ni sochda hun sida agge jana,
ave mera jamana menu rok ke dikhana..

Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...

Jeeva mei jind jee ke jagg te ehsaan kara,
bhang peeke sareya nu pareshan kara,

raata mei jaaga rava gharo mai bahar,
betha studio de wich baje subah de chaar,

menu loki kehnde raah peeni chadd de tu bhang,
bhange peeye bina mera challe ni kalam,

nale lagda ni mann menu rabb di kasam,
menu andro khaan vichde yara de ghum,

utto police piche lagge mere thanedar,
je mai fadeya gaya te Bail meri das hazar,

meri bhedi adta da mai ape va jimmedar,
nashe ch khalota kara police da hun intezar,

menu thane ch pa dao,
sire jurmane la dao,

janma da paapi mei,
menu sooli charha dao,

ya fer cheer ke mera sina kado dil baar,
mei kalla ni aape to baar mere warge hazar,

Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
Mein diwana mere mooh na lagoo...
