Shankar Mahadevan Academy's mission is to spread the 'Joy of Music' . Music has the power to change society.
This year, we are partnering with Cancerve, a non-profit organization that aims to provide care and assistance to all individuals touched by cancer, be it patients or their loved ones.
Join Cancerve in this noble cause and raise awareness about cancer by penning down and rapping to your lyrics!
The winner's name will be featured in a music video with Shankar Mahadevan!
Send us your submissions before the 21st of Januay 2018 3:00 PM IST to take part in this competition.
The winner also gets a free self-study course from the Academy.
This year our winner is:
Cancer is a disease that can strike anyone, anywhere. It's causes are many and not just genetics or lifestyle - at times it is curable and at times fatal. The best support to be provided to a person suffering from cancer is to rally around them and show them our compassion.
We want your song to reflect this setiment. To see a sample song, check out the lyrics below:
Main Cancer hun. Main bhayanak hun
Main bedh bhav nahi rakta . Main Cancer hun
Main Shareer ka athankvad hun. Main Cancer hun
Main raes garibi nahi samajta
Main dharm karm nahi jaanta. Main Cancer hun
Mera eelaaj karna mushkil hain
Mera rogiyon har jaga hain. Main Cancer hun
Main insaniyat nahi jaanta
Main sarvanaash ka roop hun. Main Cancer hun
Main tambakku, cigarette ka dost hun
Main bhayanak hun. Main Cancer hun
Mera rogiyon ko sahas de
Mera rogiyon ko apna le. Main Cancer hun
Mera eelaaj karna mushkil hain
Rogiyon ka garv rakhna jaroori hai. Main Cancer hun
Please note that the above song is a sample. We want you to write and sing your own rap song.
