HipHop Tamizha Adhi also known as Adhi watabottles is the founder of Band 'HipHop Tamizha from south India and are more HipHop Rapping creating Music,Singing Songs.

Early Years
HipHop Tamizha was formed by Adhi watabottles better know as HipHop Tamizha Adhi, It all began on February 15, 2010, when professional hip hop artist Adhi Wattabottles founded Hiphop Tamizha, encouraged by Yogi B (who lives in Malaysia and is the international face of Tamil hip hop) and music director Bobo Sashi. The group has succeeded in promoting the genre among youngsters and providing a platform for hip hop artistes in Tamil Nadu.

He has been rapping for the last thirteen years,” he says. “Ever since he heard Michael Jackson’s ‘Jam’. That’s how he came to know about rap and he have been rapping gibberish since. came across hip-hop artistes like KRS One and Jay-Z who changed his views on hip hop and he realised that hip hop is not about guns, drugs and violence.” He’s even found a way to make money from his career. He is making money and putting it back into my music. he doesn’t get money from his father. he was born with a silver spoon but he spat it out,” says the boy from Coimbatore, who used to come to Chennai every weekend when he was studying engineering at the Bannari Amman Institute of Technology.

“But after He moved to Chennai to live on his own, he didn’t even have money to go back and visit them. Because he was taking a one-year break from college (between his engineering and MBA), he told my father he would manage myself. The first year was difficult,” he admits.

But he kept himself busy building the band. “His band is Hisfamily. It’s always been the five of them: Me, Triple B, Jeeva, Neal, Siraj. they have been together from the start. And they collaborated with many artistes from around the world.

The response at one of the concert encouraging. Despite the morning launch, there were a lot of college students who had turned up to cheer the band. “He did a concert in Coimbatore months ago. Some 3,000 people turned up. He did a concert at MIT, 1,200 tickets were sold. That’s when He realised they were becoming big and no longer underground band.”

As his first album Hip Hop Tamizhan hits the stands, he’s standing tall. On his own feet.

Rise of Hip Hop Tamizha Adhi
The band stayed underground, happy with their small, niche, cult following.

“Until they were called by the Election Commission to come up with an election anthem. That song worked magic because they were asked to perform that song for Anna Hazare when he came to the Pachaiyappa’s College grounds. And within two-three months, ‘Club Le Mubbule’ went viral.”

The song has got over four and a half lakh views on YouTube since. “The video of the song was put up a day before ‘Why this kolaveri’. It was just a radio performance, an amateur video but it trended for nearly two weeks on YouTube.”

Remy Martin Hip Hop that signs up with hip hop artistes around the world tied up with the band for Hip Hop Tamizhan, launched by Purplenote. And the band is all set to launch its own clothing line. Adhi attributes the band’s growth to ‘Club Le Mubbule’.

Adhi just did his first song with Vijay Antony for Naan. “But he is not keen on films. he want to create a parallel space for non-film music.” That might sound ambitious but not if you consider how far he’s come at such a young age without compromising on his education.
