The global stage of hip-hop has a new voice emerging from an unexpected corner of the world. Meet Definite, the Kerala-born rapper whose journey into the genre began amidst Dubai’s iconic skyline and now reverberates far beyond. With a crisp sound, sharp lyricism, and an unyielding commitment to authentic storytelling, Definite is carving a unique niche in the music world.
Definite’s love affair with hip-hop began in Dubai, where his schooling exposed him to a melting pot of cultures and sounds. While rap became a part of his life early on, it wasn’t until 2017 that he fully embraced his calling, diving headfirst into writing and refining his craft. Fast forward to today, and the artist has seven releases under his belt, starting with his debut single “Whirlwind,” which set the tone for his career.
The influence of legendary artists like Eminem shaped his formative years, providing both solace and inspiration. “Em’s storytelling made me realize the power of words,” Definite shares. Beyond Eminem, his sound is a homage to the greats—drawing on Lil Wayne’s lyrical brilliance, Kanye’s creativity, J. Cole’s introspection, and Drake’s melodic flow. Yet, he remains true to his roots, choosing English as his primary medium of expression despite the challenges of not being a native speaker.
Definite has already made waves in Kerala’s hip-hop community through his collaboration with renowned local rapper Thirumali—a significant milestone that highlights his rising status in the scene. “Thirumali is a huge name in my state, so working with him was a big moment for me,” he explains. The collaboration not only boosted his profile but also underscored his commitment to putting Kerala on the global hip-hop map.
Definite’s latest release, “Uninvited,” is poised to be a game-changer. The track, available now on Spotify, showcases his razor-sharp bars and introspective storytelling. Shot in London, the accompanying music video promises to deliver a visual treat that complements the song’s energy. Thematically, “Uninvited” delves into themes of self-worth and resilience, striking a chord with anyone navigating life’s challenges.
Despite being relatively new to the industry, Definite is already gaining recognition, with a feature on Rapinsoul marking his first step into media. As his journey unfolds, he’s clear about his goals: leaving a lasting legacy in the genre and inspiring others through his art. “I want my music to resonate with people and show that no matter where you’re from, your voice matters,” he says.
Definite’s music is available on Spotify, and fans can stay connected with him on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). With his first press release marking a new chapter in his career, Definite is ready to take the next big leap.
Definite isn’t just an artist to watch—he’s a movement in the making. Stay tuned as he continues to redefine what it means to represent Kerala on the global hip-hop stage.
