MC DeadWing

My name is Shubhabrata Debnath, and my alter ego is MC DeadWing—a rapper, storyteller, and lyricist born from observation, silence, and truth. I became a writer long before I became a rapper. From childhood, diaries and poems were my refuge, a place to pour thoughts shaped by curiosity and creative thinking. At 17, I wrote my first rap on the last page of a philosophy notebook. I called it “Tilotomma”, the queen of my city—Kolkata, my first love. I chose rap and hip-hop because it speaks without fear. Rap gave me the language to say what everyone sees in society but few dare to speak. My lyrics come from personal analysis and the hard truths around us. I manifest clarity, discipline, protection—may my focus stay sharp, my path stay clean, and all unwanted distractions fall away as I move toward my purpose. To understand my roots, I learned folk instruments from local Baul singers—the soul of Bengal. Rabindranath Tagore drew from the same source, and that richness flows in my blood. I grew up reading Bengali stories and poetry; Sukumar Ray remains my favorite poet, the wit and wisdom of Bengal’s cultural spine. I believe in God, carry a devil’s mind—sharp but calm and move with positivity. My promise is simple: to be a good Bengali rap artist and take Bangla hip-hop to the global stage. I am proud to be an Indian Bengali, from the land of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Swami Vivekananda. I represent Khaalpaar my crew, peace-driven hip-hop, rooted in culture, aiming higher..
