Yashraj and Badshah Collaborate on Introspective Single 'DAF'

In November 2025, rising Indian artist Yashraj has collaborated with acclaimed rapper Badshah on a new single titled 'DAF'. The track, produced by Hiten and NEVERSOBER, blends RnB, house, and pop influences to create a groovy sound that contrasts with its introspective lyrics.

'DAF' explores themes of emotional emptiness, peer pressure, and self-destructive patterns. Yashraj explains that the song is not just about dancing, but "about living freely, without fear of judgment." He adds that people often hold back due to concerns about perception, but the best moments come when you let go.

Badshah, who Yashraj grew up listening to, shares that the collaboration felt natural and effortless. The veteran rapper has been following Yashraj's journey and respects his creativity. Badshah describes Yashraj as a "younger brother" and says they were on the same wavelength while making 'DAF'.

The single is part of Yashraj's 7-track EP 'Meri Jaan Pehle Naach', which continues his exploration of disco-inspired textures and reflective storytelling. 'DAF' reaffirms Yashraj's evolving sound, which moves fluidly between hip-hop, pop, and electronic influences while remaining rooted in honesty and experimentation.
