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”.

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.
