KING Announces Hip-Hop Majesty With 'Monopoly Moves' Listening Party Tour

As if the Indian rapper, popstar and master storyteller, KING, was not already ruling our hearts and charts, 2024 is witnessing the New Delhi-based artist’s highly anticipated return to his hip-hop roots with his fifth feature album titled ‘Monopoly Moves’ which is touted to host star-studded collaborations with some of Indian hip-hop’s finest acts. This is not all! #KINGsclan is in for a surprise with the ‘Monopoly Moves’ listening party tour that is set to take place in support of KING’s latest project. Paytm Insider, India’s premier entertainment platform, in association with Bluprint and WMS Entertainment, will be presenting his album-listening tour across cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Guwahati, and Ahmedabad, kicking off in August 2024.

The ‘Monopoly Moves’ listening party tour is a one-of-its-kind, experimental attempt rooted in the ethos of togetherness. KING's upcoming listening parties will create an intimate experience, with fans in every city rocking dedicated colours basis  each city’s theme. These parties set to take place across 8 cities in India will bring the fans closer to the music sensation that KING has evolved into while tracing back to his humble West Delhi beginnings for what promises to be a raw, real, and an inclusive experience for them. The inception of these listening parties will be ‘One Night In Hip Hop’ , an epic launch night of the album, in his hometown in Delhi. It is a fitting homecoming for his ride-or-die fans and featured artists jamming to the hip-hop beats.

Varun Khare, COO, Paytm Insider, said, “We at Paytm Insider are stoked to be part of this landmark event for Indian hip-hop. KING is not just returning to his roots but also dropping an album that celebrates his journey and artistry. Known for his spectacular stage presence, KING is set to elevate the game with his unique and experimental ‘Monopoly Moves’ listening parties. Get ready for a once in a lifetime experience that you won't want to miss!”

KING’s journey voices the story of a small-town boy hungry to put out his artistry and inspire the newer generation with his music. Being the only rap artist to have released consecutive albums every year since the release of his debut album in 2020, KING has brilliantly stitched together Indian melodies with international sensibilities across his catalogue to deliver massive hits like ‘Tu Aake Dekh Le’ and ‘Maan Meri Jaan’, which was also crowned as the most streamed song of 2023 on Spotify India.

KING said, “I’m beyond excited to bring the 'Monopoly Moves Album Listening Party' tour to life. These album listening parties are a celebration of the journey of my Kingsclan. I have been on together, my identity as KING Rocco and to showcase my latest body of work in its most authentic form. Every night will be a unique and special experience, and I can't wait to be back on stage. See you on the road!”

Continuing his track record as a hit-making machine, the new album will bring back the stylish KING, who became a household name with ‘MTV Hustle’, and is ready to rule global charts again. With a blend of infectious hooks and memorable bars, while also exploring more personal subject matter, the ‘Monopoly Moves’ album touches upon navigating through themes of fame, relationships, and self-discovery.

Kingsclan, mark your calendars and prepare yourself for this banger of an event. Book your tickets only on Paytm and Paytm Insider. As KING Rocco would say, “We are about to make history, baby!”
