दे दे तरकीब

"Dede Tarqeeb" is a track from the Kennedy (2026) soundtrack, an album released by Zee Music Company on 13 February 2026, a week before the film's Indian OTT debut on ZEE5. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Kennedy is a neo-noir crime thriller starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone. The soundtrack's creative core is the collaboration of Aamir Aziz (poet-musician) and Boyblanck (producer-rapper), blending reflective rap, jazz fusion, and lyrical spoken-word into a raw, haunting atmosphere.

Part of an album that critic Urv Rates 10 called 'a hallucinatory trip' into corruption, 'Dede Tarqeeb' uses Rap beat, Synth, Bass to build its tonal world. Boyblanck and Aamir Aziz created much of the material at Kashyap's home over six months, crafting a soundtrack unlike any conventional Bollywood release of 2026.

Aamir Aziz is a poet-musician whose work sits at the intersection of Urdu poetry and contemporary hip-hop. His Kennedy contributions write in an urban Urdu-Hindi that is simultaneously streetwise and literary.

Kennedy premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023 but received its Indian release on ZEE5 on 20 February 2026. The soundtrack, composed entirely away from traditional studios, was described by Kashyap as music that 'grew from the script' rather than being added to it.

The Kennedy soundtrack is considered one of the most artistically unconventional Hindi film albums of 2026, part of Anurag Kashyap's project of pushing Hindi cinema's formal limits.
