Dilin Nair[a] (born 16 November 1988), better known by his stage name Raftaar, is an Indian rapper, lyricist, dancer, actor, TV personality and music composer associated with Hindi, Punjabi and Haryanvi music.
He started his career as a dancer. He began his career in rap in 2008 with Lil Golu and Ikka, recording songs and uploading them on social sites. He then started working with Yo Yo Honey Singh as a part of the Mafia Mundeer group. Raftaar later split from the group due to credit-related problems. He then formed a group 'The Titans' with Badshah and Sachit Takkar (Sachh). They produced many songs together in the Punjabi Music Industry and Bollywood.[3] He was supported by Ankit Khanna, who introduced him to the Punjabi music band RDB, who then signed him onto their label, Three Records. Soon after the split between the RDB members, Raftaar joined Manjeet Ral (now known as Manj Musik). He started his solo career in 2016 after getting signed to Zee Music Company.
He won the Best Urban Single award for "Swag Mera Desi" with Manj Musik at the Brit Asia TV Music Awards. In 2019, he started judging the reality shows MTV Hustle, Dance India Dance and Roadies.
