With a happenstance collaboration with a hip-hop crew, Lucky Ali is testing new waters

He’s not an easy man to get in touch with, mostly because he lives on a kind of off-grid farm in Bengaluru. Yet, when we try to contact Lucky Ali via his Facebook page, he’s quick to respond.

Lucky Ali is currently living in his farm in Bengaluru, which his father Mehmood had bought in 1968-69
