Entry to Rapping: Rido was ragged by seniors in college, they ordered him to sing, he nerviously blurted out lyrics from Linkin Park, which came out as Rap, and a good one at that, he was ordered to sing Rap every day, thus making him a rapper
I love working with the language from the streets of Hyderabad. I borrow the Deccani spoken in the bylanes of Old City, blend it with the Telangana dialect
Films are their bread and butter; the independent videos are only an effort to experiment and make music without boundaries.
I have noticed that imitating someone else doesn't work. Staying true to my roots is what clicked for me
It is a dream come true and I never thought that from being a student who didn’t know what rap was, I’d be singing for powerstar Pawan Kalyan
It has been tough for me at times but I must give credit to my parents, who have been extremely supportive
