"Winning this contest means a lot to me," said Suraj,"To me,Rapping is a way of expressing my mind,I wrote about what is going on the country then.We,as hip-hop artistes, must learn to take things more seriously and this is a start.We must Respect Our Music...THis song :NEPALI BHAYERA HERA is dedicated to each N every nepalsese brothers n sisters....around the world......
Though Different media houses, TV channels, FM stations, newspapers, magazines etc. as we say media is selling only the fantasy life of Professionally known hip-hop stars,many are looking to learn from old school underground hip-hop n Nephop. This idea of provoking critical thinking was encouraged by WAVE and samudaya.org with The Manifesto Challenge where 9Double7 won Rs 15,000 cash prize.True Nep-hop artistes understand that hip-hop isn't just music.It's a culture,set of values and way of life..it speaks the reality..........
Suraj says....I have learned so many things since then...about hiphop music,challenges we faced,struggles,people n thier views towards nepalese rap songs music n 9double7.....till now I have recorded around 10 songs of my own n done some collaboration...with other nephop raappers n singers from Nepal and Nepalese abroad.....and even performed live in various stages shows,concerts,party(almost30)..radio shows(almost 6)....9double7 is also going to work with some international artist for thier music project.....and i m really happy and gratefull that 9double7"s songs has been apreciated by international arstists also. Within this 5 years I went through so many difficulties ...so many challenges,,, I never turned back and just did what I had to do..And after around 5 years today you can see 9 double 7 still working hard in music..still staying underground and still not goin to mainstream....I am really serious about my music.I work hard for my each n every songs.It almost took 1week,1 month and even 2 years for me to complete each song. I would like to thank each N everybody who've been with me all da time......YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.......Thanx for the team work, all the listeners who respect our music, cuz its you da people n da listeners who likes my music/songs....and da love n respect they have for 977...I appreciate it.....The credit goes to you all…...

What do you think about Nepali music scene?(in words of Lazyboi). i just liked it n posted here..
I think its moving forward really slow, you never know what turn its gonna take....I know a lot of talented people in nepal, who never even got chance to do anything with their talent, they want to do something but i dont know what is stopping them, the music companies? the media? i think people have to keep moving forward if they really want to get somewhere with their talent and share it with the rest of the world..now a days theres a lotta talented new singers but the trend is most of the companies dont even wanna sign them...that is not the way the companies should be... I personally think every people in this world deserve a chance and the companies should more look forward to signing more new artist so the nepalese music scene would expand all over the world.
