The entertainer, who raps in Tamil and English, was in town to celebrate the opening of Tudor's boutique in 1 Utama Shopping Centre
Hip-hop artiste and Gen.T honouree Yung Raja stands out for rapping in Tanglish, a mix of Tamil and English. Coupled with an exuberant stage performance, it's little wonder that the 26-year-old, who's signed to Def Jam Southeast Asia, has become a massive hit in Malaysia and Singapore, where he is from, boasting five million streams and counting on Spotify.

Last month, Raja performed a 20-minute set at the opening of Tudor's boutique in 1 Utama Shopping Centre, an occasion that also attracted a large group of his fans eager to see him perform live again after a long absence due to the lockdown.
A few hours before the opening event, Tatler had a quick chat with the charismatic entertainer about his collab with Tudor.
Why did you agree to perform at the Tudor boutique opening?
I'm a fan of Tudor. I started my career in Malaysia; for a while, it was like home base for me. We had a lot of gigs in Malaysia. So when we found out that Tudor was opening a new boutique in Malaysia, we thought it was the perfect alignment for me to come back here and perform. I haven't been back here for three years. Also, I had never done a solo showcase here, so this would be my first time.
