In the latest installment of the Indian rap/hip-hop reality extravaganza, 'MTV Hustle 03,' the renowned rapper Badshah was not just impressed; he was awe-struck by the sheer brilliance of Uday's performance. According to Badshah, Uday's act has not only set a new standard for the show but has also eclipsed the benchmarks established by its preceding season.
As the impending storm of eliminations loomed, Uday's performance resonated profoundly with the squad bosses. Setting the electrifying tone for the evening, squad boss Dee MC delivered a performance that was nothing short of dynamite. Badshah then called upon the first hustler of the night, 100 RBH, whose compelling rap celebrating India's rich history earned him the coveted title of the first Radio Hit of the episode.
The spotlight then shifted to Uday, the youngest wordsmith on the stage. In a touching tribute to his hearing-impaired Bua, Uday utilized the Indian sign language in a performance that moved everyone present, leaving Badshah visibly moved and Ikka embracing him in a heartfelt hug.
Uday's stellar act earned him the distinguished title of 'Performer of the Week,' accompanied by the presentation of the golden crown. Meanwhile, Dee MC Dynamite rightfully claimed the recognition as the 'Squad of the Week.'
An emotional Badshah remarked “Mujhe aisa lagta hai tera music dimag mein nahi dil mein aata hai. Mein roh pada hoon tumhara talent dekh ke, tumhari likhai dekh ke.. I think aaj officially we have crossed the level of ‘Hustle 2’.”
Ikka, equally impressed, commended Uday, stating, “Sabse jyada stunned mein yeh dekh ke hua ki 18 saal mai hum kya kar rahe the aur tu kya ka raha hai yaar.. Uday, uday rahega tu.”
Rap ID took the stage next, weaving a narrative around the concept of 'Soch mein Milawat.' Badshah, thoroughly impressed, accorded him a standing ovation, a warm embrace, and a Radio Hit for the exceptional use of lyrics in his rap.
However, not all performances hit the mark. Burrah and Shady Mellow failed to strike a chord with the audience. In the unfolding eliminations, a Ground Shunya battle ensued between poets Shaf and Badal, with Badal ultimately bowing out of the competition.
