On Cosmic Vision, BRB Cosmic doesn’t just rap, he interrogates himself. The four-track EP, produced entirely by Lostcity, feels less like a playlist and more like a self-contained statement, split cleanly between bravado and vulnerability.
“The theme is basically me talking with myself,” Cosmic tells us. Across the first two tracks, he’s in attack mode. Bounce Back is a victory lap for his pen game and rap skills, a blunt message to anyone who doubted him.
Biplobi sharpens the focus, firing at systemic corruption, political abuse of power, a broken press, and the exploitation of working-class people. It’s part protest song, part lyrical exercise, and all bite.
The tone shifts on the back half. Redemption steps into more personal territory, looking back at the people who’ve been there since the start, the reason he first picked up the pen, and how art has literally kept him alive. Protibimbo goes deeper still, pulling apart his anxiety, self-doubt, and the way personal struggles spill into the music. The EP closes with a spoken reminder to put yourself first, even when the world doesn’t.
For Lostcity, making Cosmic Vision was about staying loose and following instinct. “I had no rules… just cutting the right pieces that touched my ears. That’s what made Cosmic Vision so real,” he says. His beats, built from chopped-up old records, give the project its unpredictable edge, vintage grit repurposed for a new wave of Assamese rap.
The cover art (a lone figure floating in a hazy, almost alien void) mirrors the project’s internal freefall. You’re never sure if the subject is sinking or breaking through.
Cosmic Vision is more than another underground drop. It’s BRB Cosmic laying out both sides of his story in real time, the fight and the fallout, the confidence and the cracks. And in a regional scene that’s finding its voice fast, it’s the kind of project that demands to be part of the conversation.
