This photograph taken on October 1, 2026 shows rapper Kali (C), aka Akshay addressing the gathering during the launch of the Indian multi-lingual rap album on climate crisis 'Climate Emergency Mixtape' at The Humming Tree in Bengaluru. Indian rapper Kali needed little inspiration to write about dwindling water supplies -- he drew on childhood memories of hauling plastic pots full of the precious resource. Kali's song "Neer Kodu" -- "Give Water" in the Kannada language -- is one of six tracks on the "Climate Emergency Mixtape", billed by its organisers as India's first multilingual rap album about the climate crisis.
