Social records

'Saathi', 'Footpath Mero Ghar' and 'Yo Prasanga' deal directly with addiction, homelessness, poverty and trafficking in Nepal.

Family records

'Aama', 'Didi' and 'Pagalpan' turn rap toward mothers, sisters and mental strain rather than status.

Battle records

Raw Barz cyphers and freeverses kept him sharp as a technical MC and made competitive rap a public event in Kathmandu.
