The Din Raat EP starts with a fast-paced flex rap, embodying high-energy vibes with a quick tempo. As the tracks progress, the tempo slows down, mirroring the natural rhythm of the day as it transitions into night. The final song even samples birds chirping, symbolizing the end of the day, the dusk (shaam), and the onset of night.
Track 1: Paintball
In Paintball, Dev flexes about money and smoking blunts. This track is a hype banger, with a fresh vibe and well-executed production. The line “scene pura paintball” captures the essence of the track—an anthem for those in their element, vibing confidently. Bhaav’s feature enhances the track, making it a perfect introduction to the EP.
“Wo karti crush, jab mai karta roll ghass ko.”
Track 2: 10/10
10/10 continues the flex theme, describing a girl at the club. She’s into him, but he’s not interested in distractions—his focus is on his grind and making money. The track’s energy fits the EP’s early vibe, where the hustle dominates the day.
“Hai bhai pe paisa bohot, Khenche hum jaggerbomb.”
Track 3: BOP
In BOP, Dev addresses a girl who probably listens to mainstream pop music, particularly Talha’s pop tracks, but doesn’t resonate with his niche style. The song delves into Dev’s personal journey, highlighting how much he’s invested in his music career. It’s a reflective track, revealing his internal struggle.
“Wo sunti pop talha Mera ye Bop naya.”
Track 4: BYG
This track moves away from the flex and towards more emotional territory. It explores the concept of losing innocence. The girl he’s in love with seems to be unattainable now, just like how his innocence has slipped away in the pursuit of success. The grind has worn him down, and all he craves is peace and reconnection.
“Ek bandi kehri hai I’m waiting, Mera state theek nahi, mai rora hu.”
“Cheene mera chain wo aati pahado se.
Track 5: Kuku
In Kuku, Dev and Bhaav talk about breaking free from the grind of city life, longing for peace in the mountains. The song paints a serene picture of retreat, symbolized by the sound of a cuckoo bird (koyal) in the hills. Dev is ready to leave behind the chaos, waiting for his love to return, knowing that he’s already found his solace in the mountains.
“Is moh maya se door, ye jode …. Ye pahado pe koyal karti kukuku.”
