the world over. This offering from the Pakistani American stands up well to his reputation as one
of the top 15 Punjabi rappers of the decade.
"This album is for my fans, not the so-called industry," says he. But, according to Sony Music, The Thousand Thoughts, when it was released for pre-order, it registered a record sale which surpassed the soundtrack Heroine. Small wonder! Artists do not serve what they mean specially
for their fans anything less than this.
The album includes 11 tracks in all. And all the elements of Rap and hip-hop are present here - the typical Rap beats, the hip-hop rhythm and all that. Add to that the peculiarity of tonal language which Punjabi is, with each syllable having inherent pitch contour, and you have what distinguishes Punjabi music from the one that is served in non-tonal language. That is the reason why even those who do not understand Punjabi are able to enjoy Punjabi music. But when a genius like Bohemia uses it, you have the Thousand Thoughts alright.
