Nana Rogues is a two-time Grammy and Brit award nominee artist-producer who has produced two records on Drake’s album More Life, called “Skepta Interlude” and the worldwide hit single “Passionfruit,” which grew to become one of the most influential, streamed records of 2017. Nana also co-wrote Drake’s record-breaking single “Don’t Matter To Me” featuring Michael Jackson, which destroyed the single-day streaming record on Apple Music and Spotify. In 2020, Nana produced chart topping singles and a Brit Award winning albums with J Hus and Dave where he produced “Streatham” and “Play Play” ft. Burna Boy. Other artists Nana Rogues has worked with are Wiz Kid, Wiz Khalifa, Future, Ella Mai, and many more.
On August 14, 2020, Nana features on the collaborative single with one of India’s biggest rap artists and internet sensations, Emiway Bantai, as they gear up to release an amazing track on the eve of India’s independence day, in the fight against COVID-19. Emiway Bantai is a global internet sensation who has amassed over 10 million YouTube subscribers and has become the biggest rap artist in India.
The track, titled “Charge,” is a high energy fun fusion of 808 heaven driven by a rich baseline groove, showcases Emiway Bantai’s Hindi rap bars, which often shares a familiarity to rap god Eminem with his dynamic word play and energetic flow. With Nana Rogues on production and singing the chorus, “Charge” in English gives this single a global feel, which sonically feels like a moment in time and compares to the early Missy Elliot and Timbaland collaborations with forward thinking, high energy quirky beats. The merging of the two worlds and cultures feels like the beginning of a new trend that is sure to make waves across the globe.
The meeting of the two cultures is the mastermind of Dani Stephenson and Vishal Patel, co-founders of Mugal Group, which they created to bridge the gap between the British and Indian music industry. The company’s ethos is to maintain the Indian heritage and values of their artists while connecting communities and nurturing the market’s growth into the global market.
Mugal Group said, “There’s a lot of uncertainty within the music industry throughout the lockdown. We wanted to put our best foot forward, so we decided as a company to do everything we could to raise valuable money for our NHS frontline workers in the UK and in India where Nana Rogues and Emiway Bantai reside. We felt it was a perfect time to release this song not only to lift people’s spirits but also to contribute to important charities tackling the current crisis, in celebration of India’s Independence Day.”
