Rawme Hooda

Who is Rawme Hooda?

Rawme Hooda (also styled Rawmee Hooda) is a fast-rising Haryanvi rapper, songwriter and lyricist who has become one of the breakout voices of India's booming Haryanvi desi-hip-hop scene. With well over a million monthly listeners on Spotify and a string of viral hits led by his anthem "Total", he has built a sizeable independent following on the strength of hard-hitting rap, regional pride and a steady release schedule — summed up by his own tagline, "Representing Haryana".

Biggest songs and viral hits

Hooda's signature track is "Total", a bold, high-energy rap anthem that became a genuine streaming phenomenon, racking up more than 20 million streams on Spotify alone and spreading widely across YouTube and short-form video. It anchors a run of popular singles that includes "Dupatta Drill", "Saviour", "Tarraki" and "Illusion", each pulling millions of plays. Together they show an artist who has connected with a young Haryanvi and pan-Indian audience without relying on the film-music industry — a self-made catalogue built hit by hit.

From RAW-ME to a prolific run

He laid the groundwork with his early project RAW-ME (2022), an album that gathered tracks such as "A Ride In Haryana", "Malook", "Dilruba", "Badtameez" and "Chora Jaatan Ka" and established his raw, regional voice. From 2025 onward he shifted into a remarkably prolific phase, releasing "Tarraki" and "Saviour" in 2025 and then a wave of 2026 material — "Total", "Illusion", the QMT EP, "High On Life", "Babbe Kare Chill", "Hooka" and "Rare" among them — keeping himself a near-constant presence on Haryanvi music charts and playlists.

Music and style

Hooda raps primarily in Haryanvi, the dialect of the northern Indian state of Haryana, over modern trap- and drill-influenced production. His writing leans into swagger, ambition and street storytelling rooted in Haryanvi identity — the same regional-pride sensibility that has powered the wider Haryanvi music boom. Tracks like "Dupatta Drill" fuse local flavour with contemporary rap structures, while cuts like "Saviour" and "Tarraki" show a writer comfortable moving between braggadocio and more reflective, motivational themes.

Going mainstream with Honey Singh

In 2026 Hooda reached his biggest stage yet when he wrote and performed the Haryanvi rap section of Jawani Iraqi alongside Yo Yo Honey Singh, with vocals from Simar Kaur. Placing his gritty Haryanvi flow against Honey Singh's catchy Hindi hook on a marquee comeback-era single, the collaboration introduced him to a far larger mainstream and diaspora audience and underlined how quickly he had risen from the regional underground.

An artist on the rise

Still early in his career but already a million-plus-listener act, Rawme Hooda is among the regional rappers pushing Haryanvi hip-hop from a local, YouTube-driven phenomenon toward national recognition. With a deep, fast-growing catalogue and a mainstream breakthrough behind him, he is one of the names to watch in desi hip-hop.
