In Nepal’s sun-drenched valleys and concrete canyons, a rhythmic heartbeat pulsates. It’s not the thrumming of prayer flags or the clatter of prayer wheels, but the bassline of “PAISA,” Kushal Pokhrel’s Nepali rap anthem, that throws down a lyrical gauntlet at the feet of the almighty dollar. It isn’t your saccharine singalong about chasing dreams; it’s a raw, unflinching look at the seductive, suffocating power of money, delivered with bars sharper than Everest’s peak.
Pokhrel, spitting fire as both lyricist and singer, weaves a tapestry of names—Bezos, Buffet, and Gates—the titans of wealth whose shadows stretch across continents. He doesn’t just name-drop; he dissects their motivations, lays bare how money twists and bends actions, and transforms decisions into currency-fueled pirouettes. The lyrics, a potent blend of social commentary and personal reflection, crackle with energy, each verse a sonic Molotov cocktail exploding with truth and cynicism.
The translated lyrics to ‘Paisa,’ boast and joke about great riches and its lifestyle. Celebrities and premium goods are used to highlight the speaker’s wealth and influence. While the lyrics discuss money’s transience and the dangers of materialism, the tone is joyful and joyous.

Composer Churchil Bhusal deserves a standing ovation for the beat alone. It’s a pulsating monster, a blend of traditional Nepali rhythms and modern hip-hop swagger that perfectly mirrors the song’s thematic tension. It’s playful, menacing, alluring, and unsettling—the sonic equivalent of a double-edged rupee coin.
