Rapper Shloka teams up with ESPL Season 2 BGMI gamers to launch an exclusive rap song video
Rappers Rahul Karn, aka Shloka and MC Maalik have curated a gaming rap song featuring top participants from the second edition of ESports Premier League (ESPL).
The song titled “Stop at Nothing” portrays the grit and determination of the participants contesting in the tournament.
The song also features star influencers and popular personalities from the BGMI community like Yogesh Yadav (Roxx). Roxx is a former PUBG Mobile Premier League South Asian Champion and he is currently playing for Team Celtz Esports. Other names to feature in the song include Gopal Sarda (Hastar BTC) and Sambhav Khatang (iMazik), renowned gaming content creators, BGMI professionals, and team members in Hyderabad Hydras, ESPL’s first-ever franchise team from Hyderabad. The song also features Jasper (Ace Black), Arun (Maxy), Bharatwaji (CarryOP), and Prasanth C (Striker).
Talking about the significance of this rap song, ESPL director Vishwalok Nath said, “The song will definitely add a bit of adrenaline rush in the gaming community as hip hop has always blended well with gaming. Hip hop and gaming share seamless energy and rhythm. The song also features some of the most talented Esports players and will surely help showcase the rise of this tournament. Working with artist Shloka and all other content creators was a delightful experience and this rap song will surely create the right buzz just ahead of the ESPL LAN finals.”
Shloka came to prominence as one of India’s First Rap Reality Show Finalists in a popular TV show called “MTV Hustle”. MTV Hustle is India’s first rap reality show judged by popular singers like Raftaar, Nucleya, and Raja Kumari. Shloka was among the top five talents at the end of the Season 1 of the show.
The rapper duo has used various gaming analogies in the hip-hop video, which aims to create buzz and excitement for the League as it is nearing the grand finale. The music producer of this song is GJ Storm.
The tournament is currently in the second phase of invitational qualifiers that will end on July 27. The remaining 8 finalists will emerge from this round and will join the other 8 teams to compete in the ESPL Season 2 LAN Finals.
Recently, ESports Premier League (ESPL) extended its association with youth icon and renowned Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff as the face of India’s first-ever franchise-based esports league for the second consecutive year.
India Today Gaming has also roped in the global smartphone brand, TECNO Mobile as the Presenting Sponsor for the tournament. The smartphone maker is committed to supporting and helping aspiring esports players with its gaming-focused smartphones like the latest, Tecno Pova 3.
Esports fans can also watch the BGMI action live on India’s leading streaming platform, LOCO, the exclusive digital broadcast partner for ESPL Season 2. The tournament organizer has also signed Ishq FM as the exclusive radio partner for the ongoing tournament.

Groove joins SiGMA Asia panel on resilience of Asian iGaming licensing
Groove will take part in a regulation-focused panel at SiGMA Summit Asia, with CEO Yahale Meltzer attending and Business Development Director Giusy Campo speaking on the session titled “Jurisdiction Jungle: Who Rules Asia’s iGaming Empire?”.
According to the company, the panel will examine whether Asian licensing regimes can hold up under enforcement, cross-border scrutiny, banking pressure and rising compliance requirements. Topics slated for discussion include audit readiness, payment disruption, tax enforcement, evolving AML expectations and geopolitical shifts.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “The conversation in Asia has matured significantly. Operators are no longer asking just about content volume or time-to-market. They are asking about structural resilience: how a platform handles a studio API failure without impacting player experience, what the data sovereignty protocols are, and whether the compliance architecture is defensive or reactive|”
Campo added: “In a region where banking pressure and regulatory expectations shift rapidly, the platforms that survive will be the ones that built integrity into their stack from the first line of code, not the ones scrambling to patch it in later.” Meltzer said: “The ‘Jurisdiction Jungle’ is not a metaphor for growth; it is a reality for every operator trying to scale across Asia’s fragmented regulatory landscape.” He added: “The mistake some make is treating compliance as a hurdle to clear. We treat it as a design constraint from day one. If your architecture is not built to generate verifiable, immutable audit trails for every transaction, you are not actually ready for Asia’s top tier. Our presence at SiGMA Summit Asia is about having serious conversations with operators who understand that trade-off.”
Groove said it has published a White Paper on navigating the Asian iGaming market, available on its website, and positioned its SiGMA Summit Asia attendance as part of a broader push in Asia following recent expansion moves into LatAm and Africa.
