Salman Khan is back with yet another season of Bigg Boss, and this time, the house has a rapper among its talented contestants. Yung DSA, who has made a name for himself in the Indian hip-hop scene, has entered Bigg Boss 20. If you’re wondering who he is, his journey in the Indian hip-hop scene is worth knowing!
The rapper, whose real name is Harsh Vijay Machare, hails from Yerwada in Pune and has been making a name for himself with music that stays closely connected to his roots.
Who Is Yung DSA?
Yung DSA is a Pune-based rapper known for his raw and desi style of hip-hop. His music brings together Marathi influences, trap beats and elements of Indian music.
His Pune roots are a big part of his identity as an artist. His songs often feature references to the city
and its culture, giving his music a distinctly local flavour.
‘Yeda Yung’ Brought Him Into The Spotlight
Yung DSA received a major boost with his 2024 track ‘Yeda Yung’, released under Gully Gang Records. The song went viral in 2025 and helped introduce him to a much wider audience. It became one of his most recognised tracks.
The rapper’s style, combined with the song’s strong Pune connection, helped it stand out in India’s growing independent hip-hop scene.
From BPO Job To Music
Yung DSA has been a rapper since the age of 12. However, his journey into music wasn’t exactly a conventional one. Before pursuing rap full-time, he worked in a BPO.
He once told Rolling Stone India, “The biggest change was quitting my job. I was working at a BPO, trying to support my family while chasing my dreams. After ‘Yeda Yung’ blew up, my life completely changed. I could finally focus on music full-time, which is what I truly feel I was born to do.”
Other Tracks
While Yeda Yung remains his breakout track, Yung DSA has released several other songs, including ‘Maaf Kar’, ‘Chala Kalti’ and ‘Rade Rapate’.
Yung DSA recently marked his first Bollywood project with Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra starrer Toaster, working on the film’s title track alongside music composer Aman Pant. He contributed rap vocals to the song ‘Goni Mein Paisa’.
Yung DSA Enters Bigg Boss 20
Now, Yung DSA has entered the Bigg Boss 20 house, and fans are excited to see him on the popular reality show.
For viewers who already know him through his music, Bigg Boss 20 will offer a chance to see the personality behind the rapper. And for those discovering him for the first time, the show could introduce Yung DSA and his music to an entirely new audience!
