Indian hip hop, is a type of fusion music created by taking western hip hop and mixing it with Indian music. This may involve removing the words and replacing them with Indian ones, mixing the original track's chorus and replacing it with Punjabi/Hindi words.
Sometimes the tracks are mixed so much that it is hard to tell if it is the original or not. Some tracks using originally made beats and riffs to fit the hip hop genre include the artists Raghav and Jay-Sean.
Most tracks are a unique popular blend of hip hop baselines and riffs and Indian drums and other instruments. Again, they may be taken from other tracks or made up to fit the hip hop genre, then mixed with Indian music to create a distinctive mix of Indian hip hop that is popular with Eastern and Western people.
