"These are revolutionary and exciting times. It is great to see how TV, with MTV Hustle has perfectly captured the mainstream and the underground. To think even 10 years ago, a poor kid in Dharavi could come up with a lyrics that chips away at the edifice of vested interests in India, you would have thought some of this would never going to happen. Now, some of these rappers who are from Dharavi or other places in India are coming up with some of the biggest social commentaries ever and they're selling it to music, they are modern-day poets, this is like the ghazals and the qawaalis that came out of the middle ages in India and that culture is set on an electronic beat. I think MTV Hustle is just a great experience that has brilliantly worked."
Teri body, teri vibe, teri life!

The mentors, Raftaar, Nucleya and Raja Kumari are amazing. The contestants are supremely talented and to be a part of this stage, coming from Australia, we never would have imagined 10 years ago. It was a long-distant dream which is now a reality, we can't be happier."

RCR's heartening rap on the role of a father in a child's life will be a touching performance to watch out for.

Men and women are equal, whether its on chart numbers, whether it's on a playlist, or anywhere. There should be a 50:50 ratio."
A rap platform like MTV Hustle celebrates the power of women rappers who are taking head-on and churning out power-packed compositions on the show.
