New York: Taking his original ‘American Gangster’ album to an all-new level – Jay Z now offers ‘Hindustani Gangster’. Remixing the former with foot-tapping Bollywood beats, Jay Z has created an outstanding number! Inspired by the 1970’s Bollywood films, the singer has fused the ‘American Gangster’ experience, with the music of ‘Don’ (old). The composers found something unique about Jay-Z and Denzel’s portrayal of a gangster and Amitabh’s ‘Don’. ‘Hindustani Gangster’ team writes, “In 2007, we fell in love with all things American Gangster: Ridley Scott’s Oscar nominated film, its soundtrack, and Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed album of the same name. Like all true Hov fans, we memorized every word of Jay’s vividly weaved tale of a hustler’s rise from the streets and his addiction to the lavish lifestyle accompanying his atypical success”. Wanting to experiment with the idea musically, the composers decided to take it to the studio. Their initial attempt was to create a mash-up project layering Jay Z’s vocals from his ‘American Gangster’ album over Indian flavored beats, but as they began laying down the vocals, they found themselves editing, rearranging and adding so many of their elements that it ended up being an original album. Over six months of late-night studio sessions and gallons of pineapple-ginger juices later, team Jay-Z was ready to mix and master. And ‘Hindustani Gangster’ was born.
