His breakout album Urgen Ko Ghoda features collaborations with major names like VTEN (on the track “KKK”) and showcases his versatility—from the raw energy of “ठग् LIFE” to the introspective vibe of “Jay Shambhooo”. He’s also known for tracks like “Jiskirako”, “ARKO TORI”, and “Sab Ta Nai Ho K”, which have gained significant traction on YouTube and streaming platforms. Urgen’s aesthetic is deeply rooted in the Kathmandu underground, particularly the SwoyambhuGang and KTM WestSide movements, and he’s become a voice for a new generation of Nepali youth navigating identity, struggle, and ambition.
