Khasi Bloodz

Inspired by Gospel music his grandparents would play at home, Lamonte Pakyntein (aka D-Mon) was among the pioneering members of the Khasi Bloodz, who stand at the vanguard of the Hip Hop movement in Shillong. Today, he's offering a platform for young talent across the city.

With fearless rhymes and ear-pounding rhythms, these artists from the Northeast have something important to say. Pay attention!
