The Punjabi hip-hop scene in Brampton is getting louder every day. Rapper Varinder Brar teamed up with fellow Brampton native Gustavo Guaapo on their celebratory new single “Mashook.”

The single, in which the title translates to “beloved,” sees Brar and Guaapo rapping their respective verses in Punjabi and English while riding around their city. Despite the different languages, their chemistry runs high across the three-minute track.

The accompanying video cuts between the two artists dancing in a parking lot and racing luxury cars in the suburbs.

In only seven days since the video was released, it has amassed over 1,000,000 views and 50,000 likes on YouTube.

“Mashook” marks a busy year for Brar, who dropped four singles prior, and for Guaapo, who’s fresh off the release of his latest EP back in July with a deluxe expected in December.

Throughout his career, Gustavo Guaapo has proven himself an artist prepared for success. Even before releasing his most anticipated project to date, 9 Stories High, he has grown a fan base through his extensive and impressive catalogue. Over the years, the artist has also caught the attention of playlists like Northern Bars, NBA 2K, New Generation Weekly and more.

Leading up to the release of his brand new project, the Guaapo put out some of his most successful singles to date. Fans were made aware that the artist was in a new space, creatively and mentally, and ready to take his career to the next level.
