about

The Mumbai-based MC Tanmay Saxena, known popularly as Tienas or Bobby Boucher, is a breath of fresh air in the city's hip-hop community - bringing to the forefront a Nujabes- inspired sonic aesthetic that hasn't been seen before in a region dominated by 'gully rap'. The name ‘Tienas’ is a wordplay on his initials “T n’ S,” much inspired by his idol and inspiration, Eminem who also used his initials “M n’ M” which stand for Marshall Mathers. Tienas' ability to craft together complex narratives on fluctuating, chaotic beats has seen him enter multiple critics' list.

‘Queen's Necklace’ is Tienas' ode to the bond between a mother and son and how it evolves over time as both of them grow. The hook signifies a mother's efforts to shield her child from the hardships of the world outside - one which will constantly try and break him down. This effort to protect a child's innocence and keep them close is a part of every relationship between a mother and her children and often occurs as they simultaneously try and prepare them to face the world one day. Queen's Necklace is written from the point of view of a son trying to convince his mother that he's ready to face society and make something of himself in the world, leaving behind the protected and safe environment of his home. The second verse sees the mother reminding her son of all the trials and tribulations that await him outside and of all the hardships they've faced together.
