Much to the whooping glory of all his countless fans, Nucleya launched his brand new release ‘Raja Baja’ in a cross-country tour that promised some crazy energy and powerful music.

Decked out in all its nocturnal splendour, the venue was a beautifully blinking set-up with the appropriate equipment, several subwoofers and plenty of legroom space for all those busting their moves, with a massive stage and all the elaborations that accompany it, pimped out for the most exaggerated of effects.
The Music
An event that quite literally promised to be all about that bass, all the stops were pulled out to ensure that fans were left constantly raging. Nucleya himself was in the blaring spotlight, but his opening acts dished out some fun numbers as well.

It was only when the real bass Raja took centre stage that the energetic crowd stood with bated breathes in prospect of what he would unleash, and their expectations were surpassed brilliantly by the very brilliant Nucleya.
Building upon the breeding anticipatory atmosphere, Nucleya ushered things in with some of his older crowd-pullers, kicking it off with ‘Laung Gawacha‘ and then proceeding with famed hits like ‘Heer‘, ‘Little Lotto’ and ‘F**k Nucleya’, shattering the screaming crowd with his bass-heavy magic. The crowd went wild to his hard hitting, raw energy as thousands of arms and legs indulged in a battle to outdo each other’s moves.
Finally, once he was done teasing the audience’s stomping feet and lively hearts, much to the elation of the cheering audience, Nucleya wrecked his havoc with previews of his all-new album, the single attraction for a huge attendance.
Nucleya’s new album ‘Raja Baja’ zipped onto the scene, creating the most explosive sound, with it’s infectious vocal reverbs, fast-paced tempo, and a profound bass that takes mind-blowing to an all new level of blasting. Energy levels soared to the maximum as Nucleya deftly took control of the crowd by dropping some of the sickest, heaviest, catchiest tracks on an epic collision course.
After dishing out a brilliant set, brimming with addictive bass blasters, Nucleya headed towards a smooth finish with his Kavya Trehan accompanied cannon ball: ‘Take Me There’, as the power-jammed concert roared in all the fans glorious ecstasy.

Dynamic, vigorous, weighted and lively, there’s no denying that this concert couldn’t have had a less energetic ambiance as the enthusiastic crowd stomped and swayed and swung to every song that blared through the subwoofers. Keeping the frequency low and the energy levels high, the Raja Baja launch was a jet-powered, confetti-fueled craze that impressed upon all its attendees.
