MANTO - HEEMS w VIJAY IYER, SID VASHI
Directed by Nardeep Khurmi
Produced by Himanshu Suri and Nardeep Khurmi
Cinematography by Christopher Low
Edited by Nardeep Khurmi
Costume by Agyesh, Madan, Stoffa
Special Thanks to Peter Marr
The "MANTO" video was directed by Nardeep Khurmi (Land of Gold) and features the women of Heems' family, including his nieces, his sister, his mother and his dearly departed aunt Bimla Bhasin. Inspired by Joseph Cornell's The Aviary and the films of Guru Dutt, the video is an exploration of the inherited trauma stemming from the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan.
Written by Himanshu Suri
They pulled them out of Rawalpindi
Nani speak Punjabi, but my momma speaking Hindi
My only inheritance is broken tongues within me
generational trauma for Punjabis and the sindhis
What’s in a line, I could draw one every time
I stand in line in court when they bagged me for a crime
A sword or a nine, used to tear and divide
They took what’s ours now, they say that’s not mine
I dream of ghost trains with the corpses
Opposition forces, murdering on horses
Leave behind broken homes and hearts like it’s porcelain
A border divorcing a soul and it’s sources
A nation divided, my people they riot
I ask my dad why my grandmas so quiet
I ask my mom why my grandmas not smiling
I ask my therapist why I’m always wilding
Tears on my moms face but she’s not crying
Her subconscious yearns for a home and she’s trying
To figure it out but her dreams are now dying
Her mom says she doesn’t remember, she’s lying
They say the body keeps the score
I wish we could have kept our home but now that’s no more
Refugees we went from being poor to being poor
Now i drown my pain in whiskey bottles that i pour
Sometimes I feel like Manto
I drink my pain away i stay smoking on the fronto
They try to put us on the side like Tonto
We scattered to London to New York, Toronto
PTSD for something i didn’t witness
The doctor he said that i lack mental fitness
So I put it on a record like Guinness
What’s in a line, i marvel at its thinness
I’m just a product of partition,
need a victims compensation fund to pay clinicians,
Need a physician or magician,
Only way to process it is write like it’s my mission
This is my addition

Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 місяці тому
“Obi Toppin (Darling)” produced by Lapgan off of Heems’ latest album LAFANDAR, features Kool Keith and Heems exchange braggadocio verses peppered with clever basketball references and wordplays. The video brings together American and Indian pop-culture in a compilation foregrounded in the interpretation, accessibility, and positioning of the sport of basketball in popular media across borders. ...
Bukayo Saka - Heems
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
“Bukayo Saka” by Heems and Lapgan off of LAFANDAR is a tribute to Arsenal Football Club and their stalwart, Bukayo Saka. The track is inspired by that thing where clowns pull mad handkerchiefs out they pockets and soccer compilations 13 year olds make on youtube where nutmegs are set to Future songs. Heems is a gooner. He’s got the canon tatted on him. Director & Editor: Saad Metla (@saadmetla)...

Heems Raps in LES
Переглядів 2,5 тис.10 місяців тому
LES' one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York. For these shorts, I wanted to spit some of the bars on Veena acapella around the places that meant the most to me coming up, where I paid my dues and became the individual that could rap effortlessly. I don’t know if I identify with being an Indian-American rapper as much as I do a New Yorker who can rap. Created by @saadmetla
Heems Raps at the Punjabi Deli in NYC
Переглядів 4,8 тис.11 місяців тому
"Sometimes I Feel Like Manto" is a new one on the Veena album, produced by @sidvashi. I've rapped about Partition a little bit in the past but this is a sincere effort to speak on the generational trauma passed down in our families from the horrific events of those times. We filmed in front of Punjabi Deli, which has its own significance to me. In 2015, along with @notguilty_nyc and a few other...

Veena is Heems’ upcoming album exploring trauma, addiction, spirituality, healing, and growing older. It’s an eclectic mix of sounds and performances we can’t wait to share with you. Here’s a fun verse he wrote for “Bourdain,” my collaboration with Mr. Cheeks from the Lost Boyz, a Queens, NY legend. He was inspired by Joseph Cornell’s short film Aviary from 1954. Shot at Diversity Plaza, Jackso...
What's in a line I marvel at its thinness 1. Rap 2. Cocaine 3. Borders
Nice to see you off the stuff brother
Free Palestine
Our star boy
Love from Kuala Lumpur, part of the die-spora
Wow
Lord have mercy. Incredible. As a refugee from Bosnia, I felt this so intently and deeply. Been listening to Heems since way back when and have really loved his introspective stylings as of late. The link up with Vijay is a blessing unto its own.
heems is under rated
This feels like a spiritual sequel to Riz’s Once Kings, both equally beautiful, both equally close to my heart. Wow ❤️
Views blowing up for Heemy Heemy. Production and delivery are fire
Can‘t remember when the last time a song impressed me like this one. Much love, happiness and respect for your ongoing journey🫶🏻
I love Indian street food because it’s made with shit
Lmao fake views… quit reaching bro
?
Looks like all them white kids that made you famous moved on lmfao
❤
the instrumentation is absolutely beautiful! wow! So looking forward to the new album. Heemy we love you!
The first time I didn't mind the UA-cam ad, 🔥🎶🏆
was listening to this in a cab after work and had to stop because i started crying, heems you are an incredible artist, glad you are back
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm here for things Heemy. 🙏🏾

great job <3
0-100
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Came across this as a UA-cam Ad, thought it was JayZ
Great work, I loved this!!
This is so hardddd. That beat and your vocal tone with this cinematic visual perfect blend
Basing your entire identity on playing the victim role.
I love this album so much!
Damn, his science is too tight!
Guy is unparalleled
Brah where the flow at, shit flat, flat cap, cane flow, look like escapee from drain hole. Pardon, shit got wierd, turban man, please grow back beard.
sounds like Jayz/Jada Kiss
🕶🌹
Heems super talented, love your older DR stuff also, you could write and flow then, and still got it. Cheers dude
Saw this through advertisement while playing tupac album... it caught my ears soo i typed this in UA-cam he actually 🥶 🧊
I don’t leave comments much. But this is a super dope music video heems. And great song.
Kickin mad sparks like giggity… John Starks…
AM HAPPY
Lots of love from lahore heems , Vijay, sid. Youre a constant source of inspiration
Thanks Heema. This was needed on many levels.
Wow 👀
like int he last song of Cashmere Heems tells about how Indian culture is being sold to foreigners by packing it in bottles, but isnt that what you are doing no?Which Indian is healing from this
Heems a great rapper but what in the fuck he knows about Indian struggle mane, raised in London managed by millionaires, I love Cashmere by SSB what a great record , I mean I guess Heems knwos about Indian struggle but that is like 0.9 percent of indians who have enough money to care about mental Traumas, I am just hating man
i connect with this 🤎 makes me think of my mom and how much i still want all her dreams to come true 😔
Powerful
Got me fully teary eyed. Beautiful!
Mass Appeal brought me here. ❤ from 🇰🇪
This was some deep shit, much love Heemy <3
Loving this direction Heems! Been waiting for it!
