Music like Anno Domini Beats

Roushan Illahi, known by his stage name MC Kash, is a rapper/emcee from Kashmir. He took his name from his home province, Kashmir. He has been called a street poet.

He was born in 1990 in the Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir. He is the alumni of Burn Hall School. Roushan grew up under the shadow of guns and war and blood, the Kashmiri freedom struggle became his motivation. Illahi published his song "I Protest" in 2010 at the height of a major Indian army crackdown where many civilians were killed in clashes with Indian military security. The song became an "anthem of dissent."

Kash took to hip hop to render a voice to his thoughts and feelings and to paint a picture of his streets and give a voice to his people, both of which have been misrepresented by petty politics and a biased media. True to the roots and original spirit of hip hop, Kash has put himself out on the musical front line as an artist seeking to tap and harness the transformative power of this genre and to unleash its ability to serve in the defense of truth and justice.
