Zafar tells Rolling Stone his next dream is to “break into the international music scene” with “Sushi // Woofer Paar De”
always dreamt of crossing cultural borders with his music. On Friday, the Pakistani star and Danny Zee joined Mykko Montana for what they say is the first-ever Punjabi-trap collab, “Sushi// Woofer Paar De.”
“I got that baddest bitch in town and she rich yeah/Slip n slide in my ride like a fish,” Zee opens the song in English. “Don’t follow my bitch she twerkin’/Uh Brand new whip we swervin’.” The music video jumps between Los Angeles and Lahore, Pakistan, and sees Zee surrounded by women in a hot tub, Montana rapping from inside a home, and Zafar singing his verse in Punjabi while surrounded by women in traditional Pakistani attire.
“My next big dream is to break into the international music scene as a Pakistani and Punjabi and [represent] this culture that has a lot of angst and has been through pain and agonizing realities,” Zafar tells. “There’s a lot to say. I feel if God gave me an opportunity to have a voice, I can change minds for the better, and help people in the West look at us in a different light.”
Zafar says that collaborating with a Western artist seemed like the perfect next step in his career, after having broken into the Bollywood scene as a Pakistani artist. “I always believed I could break barriers,” he says. “Going to India for Bollywood was a big thing as a Pakistani, but it opened hearts… and showed how we can work together and have fun.”
