Badal drops song “140” with GD47 and Yeah Proof
Mumbai: Coming in hot after his last successful releases, Badal continues to amaze his audience with his latest hip-hop release “140,” from Not Your Type album that features GD47, a rapper whose journey is as gripping as his verses from HUSTLE. The song captures the thrill of speed and the reckless embrace of a live-fast-die-young philosophy.
“140” video bursts with a vibrant energy and is shot in a pretty casual yet catchy way by Inflict. The video captures the frenetic energy of life on the edge with cars racing down the freeway in which Badal and GD47 bring the lyrics to life with their raw and captivating intensity. They move with a swaggering confidence, their every gesture is infused with energy, the spirit of rebellion and freedom that the song embodies.
Music by Yeah Proof is just as dynamic as the video. The track explodes with an infectious, hard-hitting energy from the first beat and has kept the meter high during the whole track.
It’s a glimpse into a world where the only thing that matters is pushing the limits, a world where Badal and GD47 lead the charge by embracing speed and the thrill of the unknown.
Badal, known for his distinctive style shared his excitement about the track, “Creating ‘140’ was exhilarating. It’s about pushing boundaries and living life to the fullest. I believe it will resonate with anyone who lives life on the edge and embraces bold ambition.” ‘140’ is just a taste, a glimpse into the heart of my upcoming album, ‘Not Your Type’ which i have made with all my heart keeping my roots and my expression in mind.
GD47, whose collaboration on “140” adds a unique dimension to the track, commented, “Working with Badal and Yeah Proof on this project was incredible. ‘140’ captures raw energy that I surely believe will connect with fans of hip-hop everywhere.” It’s very important for me to stay true to my kind of music and that’s what I have made sure to do in 140 as well. In my rap section you will see the raw, unfiltered expression of my artistic voice.
Artiste First’s curator Rohit Sobti expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “We are thrilled to present ‘140’ as the first glimpse into Badal’s upcoming album, Not Your Type. This track captures the essence of modern hip-hop and Swag of our artiste.”
“140” promises to be a standout addition to the hip-hop scene.

Why Peaky Blinders is one of television’s biggest hits that still deserves more attention
Six seasons, multiple awards and the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man bring the Shelby saga back into the spotlight
In the crowded universe of streaming content, only a handful of shows manage to leave a lasting cultural footprint. Peaky Blinders is overwhelmingly considered one of the biggest global hits of the past decade. Yet many viewers still haven’t fully explored the dark, gripping world of the Shelby family.
Originally produced for the UK’s BBC and later finding a massive global audience through Netflix, the series quietly grew from a British period drama into a worldwide streaming phenomenon.
Created by Steven Knight, the show follows the rise of the Shelby crime family in post-First World War Birmingham. What begins as a gritty street-gang story gradually expands into a sweeping narrative about ambition, politics, power and survival.
At the centre of the saga is Thomas Shelby, portrayed with extraordinary depth by Cillian Murphy. The casting of Murphy is widely regarded as perfect for the role. With piercing eyes, restrained dialogue and an almost hypnotic screen presence, he transforms Shelby into one of the most unforgettable characters in modern screen storytelling.
Murphy’s brilliance lies in his restraint. He rarely shouts or performs theatrically. Instead, a quiet stare, a calculated pause or a subtle shift in expression conveys the emotional storms within the character. Beneath the ruthless gang leader is a war veteran carrying trauma, guilt and loneliness. Murphy captures this complexity with remarkable precision, making Thomas Shelby both terrifying and deeply human.
Beyond its central performance, Peaky Blinders stands out for its unfiltered portrayal of reality. The show does not romanticise crime. Instead, it exposes the harsh social conditions of early 20th-century Britain, from poverty and class struggle to political extremism and the psychological scars left by war.
The series also presents powerful female characters who hold their own within the Shelby empire. Polly Gray, played by Helen McCrory, is the strategic backbone of the family and one of the most formidable figures in the story. Women in the series shape decisions, influence power structures and challenge the rigid social norms of the time.
Across six seasons, the narrative grows dramatically in scale. What begins in the smoky streets of Birmingham evolves into a story involving political conspiracies, fascism and international criminal networks.
The series has also earned significant critical acclaim. It won the BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series in 2018 and multiple National Television Awards for Best Drama, cementing its reputation as one of Britain’s most celebrated modern shows.
Another defining feature of the series is its iconic music. The show’s opening theme, Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, became instantly recognisable and widely associated with the Shelby universe. Combined with a powerful soundtrack featuring artists such as Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead, the music helped shape the show’s dark, stylish identity and became hugely popular among fans.
And the Shelby story is not over yet.
In fact, its legacy is unfolding right now. The long-awaited feature-length continuation, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, was released on March 6, 2026, bringing the Shelby universe from streaming screens to cinemas and giving fans a new chapter in the saga.
For viewers who have not yet stepped into this world, the timing could not be better.
Six gripping seasons are ready to binge on Netflix. A new film has just arrived in theatres. And at the heart of it all stands one of the most magnetic performances in modern drama by Cillian Murphy.
So if Peaky Blinders has been sitting on your watchlist for years, this weekend is your moment.
So, by order of the Peaky fookin’ Blinders, consider this your cue to finally step into the ruthless world of Thomas Shelby. Pour yourself a drink, clear your schedule and press the play button. Because when the Peaky Blinders give an order, you listen.
