It’s not every day you hear about a song being written thousands of feet above the ground. But that’s exactly where actor-turned-rapper Sunny Kaushal found his creative spark. His latest Punjabi rap track, Mid Air Freeverse, is grabbing attention for its unique blend of Punjabi folk roots, urban hip-hop vibes, and undeniable energy. In a recent revelation, Sunny opened up about the unusual journey behind the track. “It’s a Punjabi song that mixes all my musical influences — hip-hop, rap, Punjabi folk, poetry. At its core, it’s hip-hop, but there’s a strong bhangra undertone. I actually wrote it mid-flight — Delhi to Bombay — with just a pen and paper,” he shared.
The title Mid Air Freeverse wasn’t just a cool name—it was a reflection of the raw process behind the song. “There’s no hook, no chorus—just 64 bars of unfiltered rap. So the name had to reflect that. It’s free-form, and I literally wrote it in the air. It just made sense.” But the track goes deeper than just catchy lines and fresh beats. Sunny describes it as a personal snapshot—raw, unfiltered, and real. “It’s not about telling one story. It’s about showing who I am—both the public Sunny Kaushal, and Sunsunnykhez, my artist side. This track? That’s me, fully.”In Mid Air Freeverse, Sunny switches effortlessly into full Punjabi mode, delivering high-octane bars with confidence and swag. Fans are loving this new side of him—especially seeing him rap in a sharp suit, a stark contrast to the softer roles he’s played on screen.
With Punjabi rap continuing to rise in popularity, Sunny’s bold debut couldn’t have come at a better time. Mid Air Freeverse is more than just a song—it’s a statement. And by the looks of it, it’s well on its way to becoming the next anthem on everyone’s playlist.
