“The Konflated Poets” is a two member Guwahati based Hip Hop crew formed in early 2014 by Denil Mayr & Rick-Skillz !
With the increasing case of discrimination against the NE people living in the cities, and the ignorance of the mainland Indians about the NE, the duo has released their official video titled ‘WELCOME TO THE NORTH EAST’. As the title suggest, the song is all about NE. Pack with a powerful lyrics and a catchy tune, this song is a message to all the Ignorant Indians!
“We Like To Welcome You To The North East

Here’s the lyrics:
(Denil Mayr) verse 1:
One for the culture/
two for the seven sisters/
three for my people from the NORTH-EAST
Now this one is all about the NORTH-EAST/
where my peoples at ?
whrere them girls at ?
where my, where my, where my NEians at ??
Bring that Noise, when we rap about NORTH-EAST/
cornucopia, supernatural variegate, hilly-greenary NORTH-EAST/
Miraculous, marvelous land where the histories built/
seven sisters, land where the MARY KOM’s born & grown
talented underground musicians homes/
I think i better close yours big-mouth

MAYR from manipur representing NORTH EAST
along with ma brother RICKSKILLZ rapping NORTH EAST/
Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, Assam/
(RickSkillz) Verse 2:
39 million people living in together
get a certified taste of the beauty & the weather, Uh/
Linguistic region, 220 languages,
secular region like a fully loaded cartridges/
practices, ritual-individual, traditional-cultural-multicultural, Uha/
Since we got the best flavours of the town,
if you critizise us, can’t never bring us down/
God gifted people dedicated their skills,
with the motive to reknown their artistic thrills, Like/
Shiva Thapa, MC Mary Kom, two of our very own,
knocked out punches cycloned/
When we rap about North East to the fullest,
riving the talents outstrech our limits/
In short, have faith and trust,
complications never arise betwwen you and us/
Well, this is just to show how much care do we make,
swear to god we the one that we never gonna break/
This is me, this is you, this is us that we need,
give a damn to the haters, pledge my homage to the creed, Yo/
Got some diplomats reppin for the peace,
cause we live for our dreams, we believe could achieve/
And I, hope that one day it all will be fine,
cause my love for my people, is like a faith on divine/

From the view of the hill side,
come along to the banks of the river side/ yeah

So, kicking in the bass, kicking in my flow,
I would like to tell you about North-East that you wanna know/
Turn your speakers out loud, it’s a message to the crowd,
