Earlier, Ranveer had posted a video talking about his passion and hard work behind the project. He said in the video, “Hi guys there’s something very very exciting coming up tomorrow! Something I have been working on from a long time.. Something I am really really passionate about.. So watch out!”

The record label aims to discover future superstars of music in India and provide them an international platform. “We are first starting with launching some really raw, immensely talented, new rap and hip-hop artistes who we believe will be the next superstars of the scene. Rap and hip-hop are the biggest thing happening in Indian music today. This poetry is speaking of a revolution, it is speaking of how India is protesting against class structures, injustice, and social atrocities. It is the voice of India, from the country’s streets that you just can’t ignore anymore. Hindustani rap/hip-hop is telling our nation’s story and reality and we, at IncInk, want to bring out the real poets of our generation,” said Ranveer.

Ranveer is currently working on Kabir Khan’s film 83 and will soon start work on Karan Johar’s Takht where he will be seen alongside Alia, Kareena Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal among others.
