Rising rap artist Yung-E has officially made history as the first Naga rapper to drop a Hindi drill track, with the release of his latest single, “3 AM in K TOWN” featuring Maxximum. The song dives deep into raw emotion, unfiltered perspectives, and hard-hitting storytelling, marking a bold entry into India’s ever-evolving hip-hop scene.
With drill rap steadily carving its space in India, “3 AM in K TOWN” stands out not just for its fierce beat and gritty production, but also for Yung-E’s decision to embrace Hindi—a language not often represented in Naga rap. This groundbreaking move bridges cultural and linguistic boundaries, positioning Yung-E as a fresh voice from Nagaland with a national vision.
Speaking about the track, Yung-E shared, “This song is about honesty, about confronting the realities that people usually hide. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s me exposing my truth through music.”
“3 AM in K TOWN” is now streaming on all major platforms and the music video is out now on YouTube, accompanied by a powerful music video that visually matches the intensity of the song. The song is produced by Ket Meth and directed by Macnivil with Neisaho Noho as the co-director and Nchum Patton as the DOP. The recording, mixing and mastering of the song was done in Nestvibe Studio The release signals a new era for Northeast hip-hop, showing that voices from the hills are ready to take center stage in the Indian rap movement.
