Yama Buddha Back then, That i used to rap alone and needed a suitable teammate. We became close friends soon after our first meeting, down to our passion for rap music.At that time, rappers Colin Bikram Rana and Yama Buddha used prepared rap battles in Kathmandu. One day, Yama Buddha called me and said, ”You should also find Kathmandu and participate in rap battles. We should work together and promote Nepali rap.” I liked his proposal. So, I went to Kathmandu and participated in the rap battles. We organized concerts around the country to promote ‘Nephop’, the Nepali hip-hop.We organized concerts in Kathmandu, Nepalgunj and Pokhara. We performed in the Nepalgunj concert together. Two months later, we went to Dharan and participated an additional concert. We also walked along to Pokhara. Then, he visited the UK. Once, once i was in the UK for a concert there were talked over the phone though I couldn’t meet him. Lately, he ran his next album ‘Khatara’. From time to time, we used to discuss ways to promote Nepali rap music. I used to talk to Yama Buddha not only about music but also about require and family lives. Once, I, Yam Budhha and also his wife had visited Pokhara together. Those beautiful moments are still afresh in my memory. Yama Buddha has made a significant contribution to obtain Nepali rap where it is today. He should be credited for taking the Nepali rap music from streets to a professional level. Everyone from children and young targeted traffic to even old people in order to rap nowadays. The credit for this, to substantial extent, goes to talented rappers like Yama Buddha. There was a time when rap music in Nepal focused only on subjects like money and girls; Yama Buddha linked rap to society. His works forced people attempt rap music seriously in Nepal as well. His famous song ‘Sathi’ an example of this. Even this song promoted Nepali rap music tremendously. Though we wanted to sing a song together, we couldn’t do that. On occasions, we used to speak about singing together but this can be dream now. He was an optimistic man with positive thinking. I remember Yama Buddha as a friendly, hardworking, emotional and responsible man. He the sensitive person who properly happy as well as sad over small things. I find it extremely difficult to reckon that Yama Buddha is cease to with us. I feel happy pain for losing an experienced singer and a good friend.
