It was in 2014 that a discussion about a collaboration with Swag Mera Desi singer Raftaar was breached. British singer-songwriter Apache Indian was awarding the then-budding Indian rapper with a gong at a coveted gala, when the latter expressed his desire to work with the artiste. Four years later, the duo is set to bring out Punjabi Kudi, which, Apache touts as his "most Punjabi number."

"I've used phrases of Punjabi in my other songs, but here, we've incorporated entire verses in the language. This is also why I took so long to make this song. I wanted to blend the language with reggae melodies. The beats are tough and I almost drove myself crazy creating it. I wanted it to have an old school vibe, and a contemporary touch too with the use of technology," says the artiste. The track is part of his album, On The Weekend, which sees him collaborate with musicians from across the globe. Also on the list of contributors is the Bangalore-based band, Argenil, which his production house has also taken under its wing.
