While the genesis of rap can be traced back to the late 1970s in the USA, India embraced the genre in the early 2000s. Vakyas, one of the original rap clans, emerged as a powerful force against mass manipulation and media, valuing truth and order. However, their journey was marked by a delicate balance between the pursuit of a peaceful society and the potential suppression of individual expression.

Aryaveer, an intelligent and charismatic poet, stood out as a leader. His poem "NAAM" became an anthem against the ruling party. With the collaboration of Raasa, a musician from Gangtok, they transformed Aryaveer's words into a lyrical song that resonated with the masses. Recognizing the power of their music and words, they formed the Vakya clan, later joined by Nox, Qabr, Zehr, and Maruti Suzuki.
