"Bookman Old Style",serif"> Twenty-year-old rapper Gyuremey Namgyal
Bhutia, popularly known by his stage name Gyud Boy, has made Sikkim proud by
securing a place in the Top 10 of Nephop
Ko Shreepech Season 3, Nepal's biggest rap reality show.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">A
resident of Mangalbaria in West Sikkim, Gyuremey is currently pursuing a
Bachelor's degree in Political Science at Namchi Government College. His
journey from Sikkim to one of Nepal's most prestigious hip-hop platforms has
earned him widespread appreciation, with people across the State rallying behind
him through public voting.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Speaking
to SIKKIM EXPRESS, Gyuremey described the competition as a long and challenging
journey.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"I
first appeared for the online digital audition. After getting selected, I was
called for the physical audition in Itahari. From there, I advanced to the
grand audition in Kathmandu. After clearing the judges' rounds, the competition
became vote-based, and with everyone's support, I have now reached the Top
10," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">According
to Gyuremey, more than 20,000 contestants participated in the auditions, making
it one of the region's biggest platforms for rap artists.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">He
said the judges have consistently appreciated his performances throughout the
competition.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"Last
week, I was awarded the title of 'Performer of the Week'. That recognition gave
me even more confidence to keep pushing myself," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The
judging panel features prominent names from Nepal's hip-hop industry, including
Sikkim's UNB, YODDA, Manas Ghale and VYOMA.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Although
reaching the Top 10 is a major milestone, Gyuremey acknowledged that the
competition has become increasingly intense, with many contestants already
enjoying mainstream popularity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"Many
contestants have millions of views on their songs and have built strong fan
bases over the years. I am relatively new compared to many of them, so it is
definitely challenging. But I am enjoying the competition and giving my best in
every round," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Gyuremey
also revealed that Sikkim has two representatives in the competition. Along
with him, fellow Sikkimese rapper Suraj Sewa, popularly known as Bursting
Jazzy, has also advanced to the current stage.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"Both
of us have received tremendous support from Sikkim. Contestants from Nepal
naturally have larger fan followings, but the love and votes from people back
home have helped us remain in the competition. The response has been
overwhelming," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">As
the competition now depends heavily on public voting, Gyuremey appealed to the
people of Sikkim to continue supporting him.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"Every
vote matter at this stage. The love and encouragement from Sikkim have brought
me this far, and I sincerely hope everyone continues supporting me in the
coming rounds," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Explaining
the voting process, Gyuremey said that due to challenges associated with
international online transactions between India and Nepal, the organisers have
introduced an alternative system for Indian supporters. QR codes provided on
the contestants' official promotional posters allow supporters to contribute,
and the collected amount is used by the organisers' team in Nepal to cast
official votes through the designated voting application.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
