From Manchester to Mumbai: Nika D, MC Altaf & Karan Kanchan drop a fiery single in ‘BURN’
A brilliant cross-country collaboration that is sure to tear up any club
Collaborations between MCs are always great, and it’s something LiFTED looks forward to anytime one drops. But the excitement goes up a notch when two MCs from completely different backgrounds come together. How would their sounds blend? How would they complement each other?
Last week, the Mancunian MC Nika D along with one of Gully Gang’s finest, MC Altaf, dropped an absolute heater in ‘BURN’. The fiery high-energy track was produced by Karan Kanchan, laying the grounds for the two MCs to go ballistic.

Nika D opens the track with a fast-paced delivery, with a flow that’s reminiscent of the early days of Grime. He goes to town with his thick Manchester accent, never missing a beat with each bar he drops. Then, MC Altaf enters the foray – switching up the language from English to Hindi. The energy doesn’t dip a single bit at this point, MC Altaf continues from where Nika D left off and completely tears it up with a killer choppy flow.
‘BURN’ is a glorious product from Manchester and Mumbai, and it’s guaranteed to heat up any dancefloor – no matter which part of the globe it’s in.
