In Search of Indian American Music

I was truly excited last summer when Lata Mangeshkar won her
international success and fame in Addictive by Truth Hurts. Though
it's only right for her filing a lawsuit against Truth Hurts, I have
become passionate about hip-hop/rap Indian American songs. Like pure
Latin(Spanish) and Latin American music, there's no doubt that in the
near future pure Hindi and revolutionary Indian American songs will
become a popular genre and will be widely accepted in the American
mainstream.
I am searching for Indian American songs like Addictive and Missy
Elliot's Get Ur Freak On. I have caught another sample numerous times
on the radio but never from the beginning to the end. I don't know who
the artist is, but, like Addictive, this rap tune seems catchy. It
goes something like this:
Topiko, Topiko...
I know the lyrics aren't much, but I hope someone can help me. Also, a
LONG list of songs and artists would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
