About Bombay Bassment

Bombay Bassment was perhaps Indian indie music’s most pleasant surprise of the last 12 months. A group that by their own description is closer to The Roots than to 50 Cent, and has been winning new fans with every gig they play. “We wanted to make it a band because the kind of hip hop we appreciate is closer to what you could call old school,” said rapper and de facto frontman Robert “Bob” Omulo. 

Among their influences, he listed The Roots, Nas, a little bit of Common, Talib Kweli, a little bit of the West Coast stuff [like] Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg. "We also love that jazz-funk stuff, Digable Planets.” But more importantly, he said the music of Bombay Bassment which includes drummer Levin Mendes, bassist Ruell Barretto and DJ Chandrashekhar “Chandu” Kunder - goes beyond just hip hop, and reflects each of their musical backgrounds.
