Sidhu Moose Wala explodes onto the Canadian music scene. His sound is a fusion of two worlds - hip-hop with the poetic language of rural Punjab, where he is from. After years of struggle he’s making it. But with the spotlight comes a dark side. As his fame grows, so do the threats. "We will kill you."
Presented by broadcaster and DJ Bobby Friction and investigative journalist Ishleen Kaur.
Season 8 of World of Secrets, The Killing Call, is a BBC Eye investigation for the BBC World Service.
