KATHMANDU: The rap song Nepal Haseko, sung by Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah, has been officially released.
The song premiered on Monday afternoon via Mayor Balen’s own YouTube channel.
With lyrics, composition, and rap by Balen himself, the song serves as a promotional track for the upcoming film Laaj Sharanam, as confirmed by the production team.
