The set unfolds track by track, each song adding its own energy. “Magan” by Rawal, Bharg, and Encore ABJ bring a burst of DHH, while “It Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube slows things down, providing a moment of soulful reflection. Crab Culture’s cameras move through the crowd, capturing the surprise, laughter, and even the occasional head-bob.
Stations blur by: Malad, Goregaon, Vile Parle. Each stop brings new faces, more curious eyes, and the gradual realization that something special is happening. Dhiraaj keeps the vibe alive with every transition, weaving Bollywood into the mix with tracks like “Right Here Right Now”, blending the familiar with the global.
And then, just when the train felt like it had hit its own beat, Crab Culture surprises everyone with J. Cole’s “No Role Modelz”. The iconic track pulses through the cabin, creating an oddly cinematic moment as the train clatters, with the city’s skyline stretching out beyond the windows.
As they neared Bandra, Dhiraaj brought out one final track, “Kohinoor” by DIVINE — a tribute to Mumbai’s own hip-hop king. The bass thumps as passengers, by now fully in on the experience, tap their feet, some even clapping along. A few cheer when the beat drops, their voices echoing down the train, uniting strangers in the universal language of music.
As the train pulls into Bandra, the set ends with applause, laughter, and a few appreciative nods from the regulars who had watched it all unfold. This set wasn’t just about hip-hop. It was about Mumbai, about the lifeline that carries the dreams, stories, and spirit of the city. Crab Culture has given Mumbai’s lifeline a soundtrack.
