Maanu

Price:

Maanu, or Rehman Asfar as he is properly known, is from Lahore, Pakistan. Fed up of mainstream artists releasing one cover after another, he decided to start writing his own music. But he didn’t take himself seriously until he heard the completed version of one of his own songs — with the accompanying instruments, the vocals, final production etc.

 

Maanu released his debut album 'Yain City', a tribute to Lahore, last year. The album has been mixed, mastered and produced by Jamal Rahman of True Brew Records. Maanu has also previously been featured on the True Brew Records platform. 'Yain City' shows off both Maanu’s versatility as a hip-hop artist, writing songs in a mix of English, Urdu and Punjabi, and Jamal Rahman’s as a producer. The album covers a variety of pop music genres — there’s rap, electronic dance music, hip hop and RnB.


Meanwhile, he’s also collaborated with several other prominent Pakistani independent and breakthrough artists. Maanu has worked with Abdullah Siddiqui on the single Come Through from Abdullah’s 'Heterotopia' album. His work with Talal Qureshi was on a song titled Pak Sar Zameen which starts off with a spin on the all-too-familiar national anthem and quickly veers into a rap commentary about the country.
