About

Himanshu released Nehru Jackets in collaboration with SEVA NY to draw attention to the redistricting battle in Queens, New York. Guests on Nehru Jackets include Despot, Danny Brown, Childish Gambino, Fat Tony and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he explained the creation process: "with Mike , I just kind of let him do his thing. I told him I wanted Indian stuff, and he cooked it up. Mike just gave me, like, 40 beats and I fucked with whatever I liked." The mixtape has received positive reviews, including a score of 8/10 from Spin magazine. The mixtape's cover is a parody of the packaging of Parle-G biscuits.
