Badshah drops his Marathi song 'Chimna'
Mumbai, August 31
On Monday, rapper Badshah dropped his first-ever Marathi song 'Chimna'.
The track also brings together singer Divya Kumar and acclaimed Marathi folk icon Nagesh Morwekar.
The song opens with the classic rural hookline, 'ek chimna chiv chivla / majha sajan jaga zhala ho / surya ugavla' (A sparrow chirped, my beloved woke up, the sun has risen). Badshah then seamlessly blends it into explosive hip-hop bars packed with localized flavour, dropping verses like 'dance kar rahi dekho maushi maushi /nacho jab tak subah chidiya bole,' read a press note.
Speaking about 'Chimna', Badshah said, "India's regional music is a goldmine and I want to celebrate every corner of it. 'Chimna' is my love letter to Maharashtra's rich creative canvas. I am incredibly grateful for how this project turned out, and this one's dedicated to all my day one Maharashtrian fans!"
'Chimna' is available across all major streaming platforms from 31 August 2026. The music video was shot in Kolhapur, capturing the region's distinctive character and cultural charm.
