From the opening moments of No Lookin’ Back, singer and lyricist Prem Dhillon makes it known he means business. The artist, whose pop-rap hits have been garnering fans since 2018, leads five no-nonsense tracks that draw from US hip-hop’s more aggressive corners but remain anchored in the cinematic world of Punjabi music. There’s the in-your-face bombast of “Og”, while a siren punctuates the urgent “26 Blvd”. He makes lyrical vows on “Never Again” and “Nah They Can’t”, and gathers his crew on “Blackberry Sap”—a gritty highlight on an EP that’s straight from this rapper’s heart.
