Raf-Saperra Switches It Up with Pop-Forward Punjabi Banger “Step Out” ft. Ikky
Raf-Saperra drops “Step Out,” his boldest track yet with Ikky—blending pop, dub, and Punjabi roots.
Raf-Saperra, the British Punjabi disruptor shaking up the global music scene, is back with his freshest release yet: “Step Out.” Produced by multi-platinum hitmaker Ikky and backed by Polydor Records UK and Universal Music Canada, the track marks Raf’s boldest stylistic shift to date.
“First time stepping into the pop lane… and who better to do it with than the hitmaker himself, Ikky. ‘Step Out’ is a full-blown earworm – catchy, bold, and backed by a visual straight out of a cartoon-meets-cinema dream,” says Raf.
Known for his roots in traditional Punjabi vocals and underground UK rap, Raf brings that same swagger and substance to this hyper-infectious pop drop. “Step Out” is also a love letter to the multicultural sounds of Raf’s hometown of London and Ikky’s Toronto—fusing dub, dancehall, and folk.
The vibrant, high-energy video (directed by Bedroom Projects and Avleen Kaur) complements the track perfectly, serving up bold aesthetics that mirror Raf’s sonic evolution.
With acclaimed projects like Ruff Around The Edges and 5 Deadly Venomz under his belt, Raf has proven time and again that he’s not here to play it safe. Now stepping into the pop lane, he’s making it crystal clear: he’s here to rewrite the rulebook—Punjabi style.
