ThirumaLi is the stage name of Vishnu M S, a Kottayam, Kerala rapper, singer, and songwriter who helped push Malayalam hip-hop from campus freestyles into national streaming playlists. Wikipedia records him as beginning to make music around 2013 and pursuing a professional solo career from 2018, with early listening habits that included Eminem and Michael Jackson before he committed to Malayalam bars rather than English-only battle material.

His breakout single Malayali Da circulated widely on YouTube and Malayalam charts, framing Kerala identity through R&B-tinged rap hooks instead of only film playback templates. Follow-up independent and label singles such as Naadan Vibe, Avastha, Sambar (with Fejo, Dabzee, and Thudwiser via Def Jam India), Thericho, Pacha Parishkari, and Kulasthree document a catalog that moves between nostalgia, social commentary, and festival-ready collaboration culture.

Film-adjacent credits include writing and rapping on Unnikrishnan (Varane Avasyamund, with Alphons Joseph) and Naade Naattaare (Operation Java, with Jakes Bejoy and Fejo). Label associations listed in public biographies include Def Jam, Mass Appeal India, and Universal/Found Out windows—useful for editors tracing how Malayalam hip-hop professionalized through majors without abandoning independent single cycles.

Apple Music’s Hip-Hop/Rap artist id 1459625213 is the locked sameAs for Discography enrich. This page does not invent chart ranks or AggregateRating; it records verified biography, listen links, and storefront release rows. Wave 2 leaves hero covers empty until a licensed upload exists.

Readers arriving from Malayali Da, Sambar, or film features should land on the single slug thirumali under Discography’s single-select taxonomy. Multi-artist festival or soundtrack roundups that only mention him remain mention-only unless editorial retagging is explicitly approved. Human intro text will not be overwritten by later enrich jobs that prepend Apple collection titles.

Operationally, Discography treats ThirumaLi as a solo Malayalam hip-hop facet anchored in Kottayam origin and the locked Apple catalog. Enrich may attach titled singles and soundtrack rows; members are not fabricated for a solo act. Sources stay on the public Sources list; discography.in self-links are never sameAs. Editors must keep single-select discipline when tagging magazine stories primarily about this artist.
