Siliguri, India — At a time when Hip-Hop had barely found its footing in the city, one artist was already shaping his sound and building a vision. JAW, also known as Akash, began his journey when the culture itself was almost absent locally. Today, he stands as one of the strongest voices representing the region’s growing Hip-Hop movement.
“Dusra Pahar” — The Next Chapter
Following the momentum created by his hit track “Laqeer,” JAW returns with “Dusra Pahar,” a powerful release that pushes his artistry to a new level.
The track delivers intense lyricism, sharp bars, and raw emotion. Every line feels deliberate, reflecting his journey, mindset, and relentless hunger to grow beyond limits. More than just a follow-up, “Dusra Pahar” feels like a bold statement — showcasing evolution, confidence, and a deeper artistic vision.

JAW stepped into music at a time when Hip-Hop and rap had almost no presence in Siliguri. What started as pure passion soon transformed into purpose.
