Reble Early Life and Roots in Meghalaya
From the mist-covered hills of Meghalaya has emerged a voice that refuses to be softened, simplified, or compared. Daiaphi Lamare aka Reble, isn’t trying to fit into existing moulds — she’s creating her own. At just 22, the rapper from Nongbah, West Jaintia Hills, has risen as one of the most exciting new names in Indian music, moving confidently between independent hip-hop, mainstream films, and global festival stages with fearless energy.
Reble ’s Debut Journey in Bollywood
Reble first came into the national spotlight with her powerful contributions to Aditya Dhar’s high-stakes spy thriller Dhurandhar. The film’s soundtrack received widely praised for its global influences and its creative blend of classical and modern sounds. Reble featured across three key tracks: Move – Yeh Ishq Ishq, Run Down The City – Monica and Naal Nachna.
Her presence felt strongly across the album is noticeable. In Move – Yeh Ishq Ishq, Reble’s piercing rap verses cuts through Sonu Nigam’s Qawwali. In Run Down The City – Monica song she has given energetic performance mixing retro beats with punchy, club-ready beats. Meanwhile, Naal Nachna her jugalbandi with Afsana Khan’s Qawwali-style vocals — has emerged as a fan favourite, with Reble’s verse adding swagger and momentum into the track.
Composed by Sashshwat Sachdev, the Dhurandhar soundtrack has gone viral alongside the film. Along with contributions from Hanumankind, Reble’s verses have drawn some of the loudest praise — making her one of the few artists from India’s Northeast to feature so prominently on a mainstream Bollywood album.
Struggles and Fight for Recognition
Long before Bollywood, Reble’s journey began at the age of 11. Growing up in a region far from India’s music capitals, opportunities were limited and big dreams had to be earned, not expected. Later, Hip-hop became her voice. Her inspiration into this field, was many Western artist like Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., Kanye West and Andre 3000. She also liked Indian artists like Hanumankind and Chaar Diwaari. The reason she drew toward hip-hop was for its emotional honesty and power.
Her professional career began in 2018 with the band Symphonic Movement, performing under the name Daya. In 2019, she reintroduced herself as Reble , releasing her debut single Bad. Tracks like Reasons and Manifest followed, along with high-impact collaborations including Terror, Set It Off, Kill Switch, East India Cypher and New Riot — each release sharpening her sonic identity.
Even before Dhurandhar, Reble had already left her mark on cinema through the Malayalam blockbuster Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra (2025). With music composed by Jakes Bejoy, the film went on to become the highest-grossing Malayalam release of all time. Reble’s presence on the sound track highlighted a calm, more meditative side of her music – signaling early on that she was an artist unwilling to be boxed to a single sound identity.
If film soundtracks broadened her audience, “New Riot” established her identity on her own terms. Released via Homegrown Music in collaboration with Atlantic Records, the track hits hard with distorted synths, industrial sounds, and aggressive guitar lines. Produced by Parimal Shais, with guitar by Krishna M. Sujith, the song draws inspiration from phonk and Memphis rap while still staying deeply personal and true to her experiences.
Discovering Hip-Hop as a Language of Resistance in breaking stereotypes while staying rooted Globally
Written at a moment of personal breaking point, New Riot turns anger into a source of strength. For Reble, anger isn’t something that to be hide or softened, especially in the world where women are often discouraged from expressing strong emotion. She uses her anger as a strength. The track harnesses chaos with purpose, turning emotional unrest into creative power.
Now preparing to perform at India’s first-ever Rolling Loud, Reble stands at the edge of a global moment. Yet her vision remains grounded. Her goal is not focused only in numbers or fame, but to create a South Asian album that people will love for a very long time, and without compromising her ownself. From a small village in Meghalaya to the country’s loudest stages, Reble’s rise is not just a success story, it’s proof that authenticity, pursued fearlessly, can become a movement in itself.
