AR Paisley delivers his first track of the year that’s a fusion of Hindi and traditional hip hop. “Only You” is available on all streaming platforms and digital stores now.

Opening with a timeless Hindi melody, "Only You" seamlessly evolves into a vibrant single as Paisley effortlessly showcases his distinctive flow and lyrical prowess, solidifying his position as a prominent hip-hop maverick hailing from Toronto.

“I’m happy for this song to be out for my fans to enjoy. The Hindi addition on the hook is that extra sauce that moves my sound forward,” AR Paisley says of the release. “This starts the year on a good note and I look forward to delivering more music and special moments for my fans.”

The single is accompanied by an official Preet directed music video. Captured in Los Angeles, the visual sees Paisley moving between colourful cars and locations delivering an epic performance of his latest track.

Paisley’s former release was the Inderpal Moga, Chani Nattan and Jay Trak assisted track “What’s Beef”.

AR Paisley won 2023’s Hip Hop/Rap Artist of the Year award at Canadian Music Week - a nod to his praised catalogue and releases such as 2019’s Screwface and Timeless to 2020’s AR Paisley VS Money and 2022’s Pressure. The late Sidhu Moose Wala featured AR Paisley on the now Certified Gold single “Love Sick,” that garnered over 100 million streams.

Another achievement was AR Paisley’s On The Radar freestyle, showcasing his influence from '90s and early 2000s flow, further validating his relevance and consistency in hip hop culture – watch here.

Following his Rolling Loud Toronto performance; opening for AP Dhillion on his North American tour and selling out Toronto’s Axis Club for his own headline Canadian tour, AR Paisley is set to deliver more music and clothing drops from his popular merch line Paisley as the year progresses.

Canada’s leading South Asian hip hop maverick, AR Paisley, conveys raw vulnerability through his explosive verses that has earned him 100+ million streams across all DSPs and 60+ million views on YouTube. As XXL Magazine observed in 2019, “the Mississauga rapper has already become a mainstay on Spotify’s curated playlist and it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the world catches up.” What followed was recognition as Hip Hop/Rap Artist of the Year at Canadian Music Week (2023) and his On The Radar freestyle, a testament to his lyrical prowess, further solidifying his position as a true luminary in the genre. AR Paisley's influence extends far beyond Canadian borders, leaving an indelible mark on international markets through electrifying tours alongside AP Dhillon and Sidhu Moose Wala. His captivating stage presence and undeniable talent culminated in a sold-out Toronto date during his own headlining Canadian tour. In tandem with his musical conquests, AR Paisley's 'Paisley' fashion line has cultivated a devoted and independent following, fuelled by its limited-edition designs that transcend mere apparel, encapsulating a lifestyle and culture uniquely his own.
