KARLOST

KARLOST is an Indian vocalist and rapper whose ESØTËRIC catalog refuses the single-lane approach. His label work includes the bilingual double-single MESSY LIFE (2023, with Ebstar) — “FUCK LOVE” and “MESSY LIFE,” sitting at the harder-edged end of the label’s hip-hop and pop space — alongside the solo singles Bitch, I’m Back! (2023, underground rap) and KYUN TU AISI HAI (2024, Hindi-language). The range between those releases is significant: confrontational English-language rap, an emotionally charged Hindi pop track, and a full collaborative project with the label’s founder, all carrying the same distinct voice. Early career. Worth watching closely.
