To say that Raf-Saperra bends and blends genres is an understatement.
Rolling Stone
He has the relaxed flamboyance of every great pop star, and his vocal lines – heavyweight and yet so finely detailed – are universally impressive.
The Guardian
If any artist best represents the musical melting pot of South London in 2025, it’s Adeel Sardar Khan, better known as Raf-Saperra. Originally breaking out as a filmmaker, the Streatham Hill-raised firebrand found his musical spark by colliding the Punjabi folk music that shaped his early life with the hip-hop that moved the streets around him.
Blowing up with the one-two punch of UK garage throwback “N.L.S. (Nach Le Soniye)” and the grimier “Modern Mirza’’, both featured on his 2023 EP Ruff Around The Edges, Raf-Saperra has barely paused for breath. Via a standout Boiler Room showcase in London celebrating Punjabi music, the rap chameleon signed to Nas’s Mass Appeal label and this year released a bold new EP, Renaissance, featuring the bilingual banger “Ni Billo”.
Don’t sleep on this superstar in the making.
