Sidhu Moose Wala, the Punjabi music icon, may no longer be with us, but his songs continue to echo in the hearts of millions. His unique voice, bold lyrics, and fearless style have left a mark on Indian music that refuses to fade. Even in 2025, with the release of his posthumous song “Drip” featuring A.P. Dhillon, Sidhu’s influence is stronger than ever, inspiring new artists and uniting fans across India and beyond. For Indian audiences, Sidhu’s music is more than entertainment—it’s a celebration of Punjab’s spirit, struggles, and pride.
A New Kind of Punjabi Music
Sidhu Moose Wala, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, changed the game for Punjabi music. Before him, Punjabi songs were mostly about love, dance, or fun. Sidhu brought something different. His lyrics spoke about real life in Punjab—farmers’ struggles, youth dreams, and even tough topics like crime and politics. Songs like “So High” and “295” mixed Punjabi folk with hip-hop beats, creating a sound that felt fresh yet deeply rooted in Punjab’s culture.
Sidhu’s music wasn’t just for Punjabis. His raw honesty and catchy tunes won fans in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and even abroad in Canada and the UK. He showed that Punjabi music could go global, competing with Bollywood and international pop. Today, artists like Karan Aujla and Diljit Dosanjh carry forward this global vibe, but Sidhu was the one who opened the door.
Breaking Rules with Bold Lyrics
What made Sidhu special was his courage to speak his mind. His songs didn’t shy away from controversy. In “Jatti Jeone Morh Wargi,” he paid tribute to a historical figure, sparking debates but also earning respect for his boldness. Tracks like “Punjab” and “Bapu” touched on issues like Khalistan and government policies, connecting with young people who felt unheard. His lyrics were like stories, painting pictures of Punjab’s villages, its pride, and its pain.
This fearless style inspires new singers today. Many young artists in Punjab try to copy Sidhu’s mix of deep lyrics and modern beats. Even in 2025, when “Drip” dropped, fans on platforms like X praised its bold energy, saying it felt like Sidhu was still speaking to them. His ability to blend truth with music keeps his songs timeless, played at weddings, car stereos, and college fests across India.
Building a Global Fanbase
Sidhu Moose Wala didn’t just make music—he built a movement. His songs reached the Indian diaspora, especially in Canada, Australia, and the US, where Punjabis craved a connection to their roots. Hits like “Levels” and “The Last Ride” topped charts on Spotify and YouTube, proving Punjabi music could rival global hits. His collaboration with British rapper Stefflon Don in “47” showed he could hold his own on the world stage.
Even after his tragic passing in 2022, Sidhu’s music keeps growing. Posthumous releases like “Drip” in 2025 have millions of streams, with fans sharing clips on X using #SidhuMooseWala. His music videos, filled with Punjab’s fields, tractors, and vibrant culture, make fans abroad feel closer to home. For Indian audiences, this global love for Sidhu is a source of pride, showing how a boy from Moosa village became a worldwide star.
Inspiring the Next Generation

Music academies and local studios in cities like Ludhiana and Amritsar are buzzing with kids wanting to rap like Sidhu. His journey from a small village to international fame motivates them to chase their goals, whether in music or other fields.

This pride in Punjab’s identity inspires fans to value their heritage, whether they’re in India or abroad. Schools and colleges in Punjab even hold events to honor Sidhu, playing his songs and discussing his impact, keeping his spirit alive in 2025 and beyond.
