Bio

Raj Halder is a Philadelphia-based hip-hop producer and MC better known by his stage name, Lushlife. His most recent collection, My Idols Are Dead + My Enemies Are in Power, features guest spots from Killer Mike, Moor Mother, Sad13 (Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz), and Billy Woods along with recordings from activists and academics like Jedediah Purdy, Nikesh Shukla, and Sut Jhally. Halder said of the project: “November’s dystopian presidential election sent all of us looking for answers. My Idols Are Dead + My Enemies Are In Power brings together artists, activists, and academics to explore how we got here, and what to do next. We stand with poor folks, Muslims, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and all Americans against any attack on our civil rights.”
