"There has been so many different rumours and
news about Malaysian tamil hiphop group,
Chakrasonic. What’s really going on?
Chakrasonic initially started off as backup dancers
for an established Malaysian group, Poetic Ammo.
Constantly being in the background made them
frustrated and in 2000, they left the group in an ill-
mannered way and went on to pursue a career as
rappers themselves. In the same year, they struck
a deal with Indian record label Dhanosh Records,
where the label agreed to pay $15,000 as a finance
to record an album. Chakrasonic also signed a
contract which tied them to Dhanosh for 5 years
and recorded “Kalai Oru Porâ€. The albums
first single was a controversial one. “Natpu
Illai†was a track which dissed lead rapper of
Poetic Ammo, Yogi B and lyrics reffered him as a
backstabber, cheater and liar. Though the group
will continue to deny this, the singer who did the
chorus for this song was actually Yogi B’s
sister herself. She was tricked into recording this
song not knowing that it was actually a diss to her
own brother.
The group also further embarrassed themselves
among established lyricists as their lyrics were
just mere translations from English rap songs. For
Example:
2pac's Hailmary-
I ain't a killer but don't push me/ Revenge is like
the sweetest joy next to gettin pussy/
Vivek's verse:
Naan kolbavan alle/Anne Uruesi pakathe
melle/Kondhue Palli/Penggal sungemena Valli/
After the release of their debut album., the group
left Dhanosh once again in ill-manered terms
though this was technically impossible as the
group was yet to complete its 5 year contract.
Chakrasonic eventually went on to record their
second album after 3 years titled “Kodi Kelviyin
Bathilâ€. This album further tarnished the groups
reputation for the following reasons:
- They did not pay the studio the money for
recordings and still owe a few thousand dollars to
Platinum Studio.
- They cheated the composers of music from this
album by not paying them the money promised
and to date still owes the producers a few
thousand dollars as well.
Also to further complicate issues, the group could
not release the album under any other label other
than Dhanosh Records as they had yet to
complete their contract with the label. But they
broke the terms of their contract with Dhanosh and
started to approach a new distributor to release the
album.
Digital Tones was the victim. The group initially
agreed with Digital Tones and released Kodi
Kelviyin Bathil with this new label. Of course, the
fact that they were still signed with Dhanosh was
never brought up and Digital Tones did not even
realise this mistake. Chakrasonic proceeded to
launch their album at a restaurant with an average
crowd turn out. At the back of the CD, the logo and
wordings “Distributed by Digital Tonesâ€
were printed and the CD was sold to those who
attended the event.
Just after the event, the distribution deal for the
album was dropped by Digital Tones after the
company found out that this group had tricked
them into an agreement while still on contract with
Dhanosh. The group not knowing what to do,
approached an non-indian label, NAR Records to
release the album. The CD’s which were
previously printed with the Digital Tones logo were
re-packed and NAR records printed stickers to be
pasted on top of the Digital Tones logo to cover up
this problem. Of course, NAR Records is still in
the dark about the fact Chakrasonic has yet to
complete their contractual agreement with
Dhanosh Records.
Now the group is apparently working on their third
album DESPITE the fact that they owe thousands
of dollars to producers and the recording studios.
One of the board members of Multimedia
Univerisity, Cyberjaya has even stated that the
group requested the following as part of their
payment for a 30 minute show at the university.
- Women to sleep with
- one large bottle of liquor
- Weed/Ganja
- Plus a high amount of payment
The group is also constantly spotted at Waikiki
pub in PJ half drunk and womanizing. Imagine the
irony of not paying studios and producers but
spending the money on liquors and women.
That’s the sad outcome of Chakrasonic. The
group is also known for being a copycat.
Example:
The Intro from their last album was an EXACT rip
off, from Tupac's Betta Dayz album. One of the
photos from the inlay was also an exact copy of
the inlay from a Death Row Records album.
