MC Square, born Abhishek Bainsla, is a Haryanvi rapper, lyricist and composer who brought the dialect and folk textures of rural Haryana into mainstream Indian hip-hop. Raised in Haryana and trained as a civil engineer, he began rapping around 2016, drawing on the ragini folk tradition of his home region rather than imitating Western rap templates. His breakthrough came in 2022 when he won MTV Hustle 2.0, the rap reality show judged by Badshah, where his high-energy Haryanvi storytelling set him apart from the field. Viral independent tracks such as 'Ram Ram' and 'Ghani Syaani' (a 2022 collaboration with Shehnaaz Gill) cemented his reputation as the leading voice of Haryanvi hip-hop, a scene he helped legitimise almost single-handedly. He writes almost entirely in Haryanvi, layering folk melodies and desi imagery over contemporary trap and hip-hop production. Bollywood soon followed: he featured on 'Gallan' from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024) alongside Talwiinder, and delivered 'Raaj Karega Maalik' for the film Maalik (2025), extending his rap persona into film soundtracks while remaining rooted in the independent scene.
