Blackletter emerged as a cyberpunk rap collective in India, distinguished by their strong beliefs, or rather disbeliefs, in the established system. Their core mission revolves around inspiring dissent and anarchy in the masses. Fueled by viral internet memes, Blackletter's popularity surged, leading to the initiation of Rewind, Booty Kaur, and Censor into the group. Operating in anonymity, their true identities remain concealed from the public eye, always on the move, leaving their "blackflower" mark as a symbol of defiance on the streets.

The genesis of Blackletter can be traced back to the Battle of Betrayal when Raasa, a founding member of Vakya, turned against her own kin, defeating Aryaveer in an impromptu cypher in Delhi. This pivotal moment led to the founding of Blackletter, with two of Aryaveer's closest allies, Maruti and Zehr, joining Raasa in their cyberpunk journey.

Musical Influence and Themes
Blackletter's music is heavily influenced by the collective experiences of young people grappling with a rapidly changing world. Themes of self-discovery, personal growth, spirituality, and inclusion resonate strongly, particularly with the youth. Their performances and creations built a loyal fan base, appreciative of the group's unique perspective and message. Unlike Vakya, who emphasized loyalty and brotherhood within their own clan, Blackletter embraced collaboration with other artists and creatives who shared similar values.

UNIFORM BLACKLETTER O/T
The Blackletter O/T is for those who are ready to reject the system, to stand up and make their own rules. Adorned by the ‘Birth of New Aesthetics’ embroidery on the back and the ‘Blacklotus’ on the front, this uniform is a symbol of rebellion and chaos.

leadership
Raasa
Composer
Raasa, leader of the Blackletter clan and co-founder of Vakya, played a pivotal role in building the latter to its current status. While known primarily for her behind-the-scenes contributions, she made a rare appearance in 2019 to publicly discredit Aryaveer and the Vakyas, putting an end to their 9-year reign at the WRC earning her the title, “Judas’’.
//members of blackletter clan
Maruti Suzuki
Hypeman
Maruti Suzuki was the lifeblood of every Vakya performance. Despite his ability to hype the crowd with his infectious energy, He often found himself living in the shadow of his childhood friend, Aryaveer. Maruti has yet to make a substantial contribution to Rap culture.
Censor
Perfomer
Censor’s rivals are often left speechless after being shut down by their clever wordplay and explicit honesty. But despite their ruthless onstage persona, Censor is known to be very warm offstage. Approach with an open mind and a willingness to be schooled.
Booty Kaur
Performer
Boasting an army of 1.5M followers, Booty Kaur is one of the more controversial figures in the rap industry. While her seductive presence on stage is undeniable, it often diverts the audience's attention from her actual performance as a rapper.
Rewind
Composer
Let's be real. Delhi can often be a racist place and Rewind found it out pretty quickly. A student of economics, he joined blackletter to live a double life away from prejudices. His music just like his 24k rolex, glitters like nothing else.
Zehr
Writer
To say that Zehr has had a tough childhood is an understatement. Unlike his brother Qabr, he thinks the world is beyond repair. And in this world it’s all about the last men standing. His writings often depict a bleak and hopeless world where life has no inherent meaning or purpose, and all human endeavors are ultimately futile.
