LiFTED | Marcus Aurelius | 2 Dec 2025


Sidhu Moose Wala’s assassination in 2022 just a day after his government security was reduced sent shockwaves through India and the global music community. Three years later, his presence remains undeniable. The release of his new posthumous track, ‘Barota,’ has surged up the charts, proving that the late Punjabi icon’s grip on listeners is still as tight as ever.

Written and composed by Sidhu himself, ‘Barota’ taps into youthful pride, physical dominance, and the complicated codes of masculinity. But in classic Sidhu fashion, he flips expectations by contemplating putting his weapons down and choosing love over violence. It’s introspective, powerful, and unmistakably Moose Wala.

The video blends archival footage with AI-generated visuals, creating an emotional bridge between the artist’s past and the legacy that continues to unfold. ‘Barota’ marks Sidhu’s ninth posthumous release, and each new drop seems only to amplify his influence. Even in death, Sidhu Moose Wala continues to command the charts, the culture, and the hearts of millions.
