Wicked Sunny Begins A New Musical Journey With Long Way From Home Under Times Music
Wicked Sunny has opened a new chapter in his musical journey with Long Way From Home, the first single from his debut EP The Local Kid, released under Times Music. Featuring MC Square and Radhika Bhide, the track explores the emotional weight of leaving home, pursuing dreams in an unfamiliar city, and navigating the uncertainty that comes with ambition. Known for his sharp lyricism and distinct voice in Indian hip-hop, the Prayagraj-born, Mumbai-based artist delivers one of his most personal songs yet with this release.
The Local Kid is a five-track musical journal that chronicles the journey of a small-town boy trying to survive and grow in a big city. The EP captures silent struggles, unnoticed victories, heartbreaks, and moments of self-reflection. It begins with the homesick undertones of Long Way From Home and unfolds through tracks like Baawre, Big Drama, and Laal, before concluding with Udta Teer. Each song carries a unique emotional texture, making the EP best experienced as a complete narrative.
Speaking about the song, Wicked Sunny shared, “Long Way From Home is the most honest thing I have written. There is still a version of me sitting in a room in Prayagraj, thinking Mumbai is too far away. This song is for that boy, and for every kid who packed a bag with more hope than money.”
MC Square added, “The moment Sunny played me the track, I connected with it instantly. There’s a certain loneliness and hunger in the song that felt very familiar to me. I wanted my verse to sound lived-in and truthful, and I think we created something people will genuinely feel.”
Radhika Bhide said, “There’s a quiet ache in this song that stayed with me from the very first listen. I wanted the hook to feel intimate and comforting, almost like a voice from home you hold on to during difficult days. Collaborating with Sunny on this felt incredibly special.”
Long Way From Home is now streaming on all major audio platforms. The official music video is available on Times Music’s YouTube channel.
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh visited the historic Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hills in Karnataka this week to offer prayers and perform rituals. His visit follows a directive from the Karnataka High Court regarding a legal case tied to his mimicry of a scene from the movie Kantara. During his temple visit, the actor participated in religious ceremonies and reportedly made personal vows.
