According to CNN, bhangra singer Panjabi MC is making waves in the United States with the hip-hop remix of his of his song “Mundian to Bach Ke”, which includes the rapper Jay-Z. My take – what happened to CNN with it being the news leader – this is old news, almost as old as well PMC. [via niraj]

I’ve always been doing my sound but it’s never been part of the bhangra industry or anything directly. People aren’t really associating me with the mainstream bhangra or anything ’cause they’ve always said “P’s stuff is not keeping the true roots and we wanna keep it raw, traditional.”
