Mohammed Bilal Sheikh’s career spans years of blood, sweat and tears, from his transformation into the social-media phenom Emiway Bantai to his ascent into Indian hip-hop royalty. Unsurprisingly, it all makes for great music. On the title track of 8 Saal, the star unleashes a rhythmic and biographical flow that hearkens to the ratatat style of his idol Eminem. The languorous, summery production of “Focus” emphasises a pop structure, while “Life Is Good” sees the autotune-wielding wordsmith deliver a characteristic earworm.
