Prabh Deep on 'KING Returns' EP and Collaboration with John Jacobs

IN A MOVE that is sure to create tidal waves in the hip-hop community, Prabh Deep recently dropped his latest EP KING Returns with the music video for the track “Ethe Rakh” in collaboration with John Jacobs eyewear. The EP marks the Punjabi rapper’s first project since his year-long hiatus.

The project is equal parts symbolic and assertive, positioning Prabh Deep at the forefront of the industry with thematic visuals of legacy, longevity, and self-identity. This 6-track EP harkens back to his 2019 project KING, with the artist serving as producer, composer, lyricist, and arranger.

In conversation with Rolling Stone India, the rapper shared the following thoughts on his newest EP:

How does KING Returns serve to write the new chapter of your discography?

Prabh Deep: “KING Returns is part of a bigger picture, a small part of a big picture that I have been trying to create over the last 6 years and hopefully continue to create more. The aim is to complete this picture one day.”

You recently shifted base to Goa. How do you balance paying homage to your Tilak Nagar roots while also pushing your music in new, fresh directions?
