Chennai, July 10: Rap music hardly struck a chord in Tamil music a few years ago, but the scene is gradually changing for the better, says singer-rapper Sricharan Kasthurirangan, who has sung rap portions in films such "Chennai Express" and "Ko".
"A few years ago nobody bothered about rap portions in songs. It's not the same anymore. Rap music in India, especially in Tamil cinema, is gaining importance. People have started recognising rap lines and are giving due credit to singers," Sricharan told Ians in.
Sricharan has written and crooned Tamil rap lines in the song "One two three four" from the forthcoming Shah.

Film: "Settai"; Music Director: S.S Thaman; Singers: Megha, Vijay Prakash, Gaana Bala, Karthik, Suchithra, Andrea Jeremiah, Chinmayi, Sricharan, Anbu Raju and Dhevan; Rating: ***
The soundtrack of "Settai", the Tamil remake of the adult comedy "Delhi Belly", doesn't have the cuss words and expletives of the original. The songs are catchy, hilarious and, most importantly, short. Each song is less than four minutes, and therefore holds the attention of the listener.
The opening track "Agalardhey agalardhey" by Megha and Vijay Prakash is one of the most popular songs of the album. Effervescent voices of the singers are strongly backed by extended bass beats played throughout the song, while the mellow tune of the synthesiser.
