Devil's Cigar (Fact)


You think its a flower? No, this is the devil's cigar, a rare mushroom.

It is called devil's cigar because it rises from the ground like a dark cigar before splitting radially into four to seven leathery rays. This split is often accompanied by a malevolent hiss as this rarest of mushrooms spits out a smoky cloud of hungry spores.

Rebellious Antagonists as the name says it all means revolutionary warriors the group consist of Sam Rasul Baloch Urdu Rapper aka Mr. Baloch me as Stoner Fy and Fahad ullah Khan aka Eastern philosopher our group is doing everything on our own from songs to videos what we call independent productions. Our main moto when its our group song usually focus on the current affairs the genocide of muslims going all over and the misconception about islam a good example of that is our Song Khamosh Duniya we have collabed with good n well known artist like Rap Engineers’s Maddy Khan and Jadd Zell and Pollish Rappers like Hijack Hood and Popek and well when its me alone doing my solos its more focused bout my life try to tell the kids that they don’t have to go through the same path and mistakes I choose as not every one is lucky enough to get another chance.

What Do you Have To say About your Latest video Bad Day For You?
Its something different from my way of rap as it was about my ex well things didn’t worked out well so I had to give her a piece of my mind the song was made on all these heart breaks that guys go through and end up being depressed and all which I cant stand life is to precious to cry over someone its just not worth it if you know you are the best you don’t need a confirmation from anyone so all I can say is to keep your head up n keep the pursuit of happiness going

Photography is not a rocket science but you should know the basic rules and then it's just a click of a button. Just be yourself and don't hesitate to ask others if you don't know.

Few days back it seemed like photography is the only field left which has the scope because every single person is jumping into it. :) But now those who have the quality work can make it to the top.
