The Pindi Boyz, a popular seven-member music group, is back with a new song and music video, featuring none other than the OG Pindi Boy himself, Sheikh Rasheed. Three years after their mega-hit single ‘Pindi Aye,’ which gathered 22 million views, the Boyz decided to reunite and create ‘Pindi Aye 2.0,’ which has already reached two million views.
The Pindi Boyz, comprising Hashim Nawaz, Zeeru, Hamzee, Shuja Shah, Usman Ghauri, OCL, and Khawar Malik, all hail from Pindi and continue to be based there, except for their producer, Ghauri, who collaborates with them remotely from Bahrain. Their aim is to represent Pindi and challenge the negative stereotypes associated with Pindi boys.
One of the most surprising aspects of ‘Pindi Aye 2.0’ is the inclusion of Sheikh Rasheed in the music video. The Boyz had initially wanted him to feature in their first track but were unable to secure his involvement. However, this time, their perseverance paid off, and Rasheed agreed to participate, adding a touch of his eccentric personality to the video.
During the video shoot, Sheikh Rasheed appeared as a charismatic figure, sitting casually while smoking a cigar. He handed the Boyz a black dossier, symbolizing a secret mission to unite the Pindi Boyz. Rasheed’s presence brought a unique charm to the video, and the collaboration was a dream come true for the Boyz.
‘Pindi Aye 2.0’ showcases the vibrant and lively spirit of Pindi, featuring iconic locations such as Fawara Chowk in Raja Bazaar. The Boyz filmed in public spaces, attracting a crowd of 300 to 350 people who expressed their love and support for the group. The overwhelming response highlighted the organic popularity of the Pindi Boyz, with fans genuinely connecting with their music and message.
The Pindi Boyz emphasize the importance of achieving success organically rather than resorting to artificial means such as buying views and followers. They believe in engaging with their fans directly and rely on the love and support they receive from their genuine fanbase.
Having experienced the power of collaboration, the Pindi Boyz plan to release more music as a group while also pursuing individual projects. They aim to follow the model of the Wu Tang Klan, where members work together under the Pindi Boyz banner, alternating between group and solo projects.
Pindi Boyz have infectious music, a growing fanbase, and income from platforms like YouTube and Spotify. The future looks promising for them. Music festivals and concerts in Pakistan offer more opportunities for their success. Pindi Boyz aim to showcase their love for Pindi and challenge stereotypes through their music. They inspire aspiring artists and prove the power of unity and authenticity in achieving dreams.
