Pump up the Bhangra

Lehmber Hussainpuri is easily on the best known names in the bhangra industry. Hussainpuri first appeared onto the mainstream bhangra scene through Mukhtar Sahota on a track titled 'Sohni Lagdi' who then moved onto a collaboration with Dr. Zeus on the album Unda The Influence. This album was a success with both traditional and modern bhangra fans with such hits as Ah Ni Kuriye, Mele Vich Jatt and Tin Cheeja. He then did other notable tracks including Sachiyan Sunaiya, Gabroo Shokeen, Yaar, Daru and a notable appearance on the worldwide smash-hit DesiRock by Swami.

An unofficial compilation The Best of Lehmber Hussainpuri was also released in 2005 by Jatt Records. A tribute album, in which Lehmber resang some of the great bhangra songs originally sung by Malkit Singh, Daler Mehndi, Sukshinder Shinda, etc. was released by VPearl Records entitled The Great Bhangra King. None of these were actual albums, rather just unofficial albums by various companies to which Lehmber branched off.

In a relatively short time, has become one of the greatest Punjabi singers of recent times. He has many hit tracks on his own albums as well as on appearances on albums with Dr. Zeus, Aman Hayer, Simon Nandhra, RDB, DJ S-Bolina, DJ Sanj, Lil Sach and many others.

B21 is a bhangra group consisting of two brothers, Bhotta Jagpal and Bally Jagpal, and also used to feature Jassi Sidhu. They got their name, B21, from the postal code of Birmingham, UK where they were born and first performed. They released their debut album, The Sounds of B21 in 1996 and there was no looking back from then on. Their popularity skyrocketed and they dominated the bhangra billboards and "revoluntized UK" along with Bally Sagoo and Apache Indian. The boys would continue to release four more albums (as of 09) even though Jassi Sidhu left the group on 2002. B21 has also worked with numerous non-bhangra artists such as Busta Rhymes and Horace Brown.

If you didn't have something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving you do now. Some of these albums have been posted already but here is a full list of albums by Panjabi MC. Yes, I had been misspelling his name, it isn't Punjabi but rather Panjabi.

If you were wondering - the guy next to PMC is DJ Premier, the greatest producer hip hop has ever seen.

Then, in 2002 he released his debut album titled Out of the Box. He focused on fusing eastern and western sounds together through his music. Over time he developed better productions skills and showcased them in his other two albums.
