Things were not flashy as they are right now from the beginning of MC Stan’s life. Instead, it was all dark and shallow. The rapper, who is ruling the hearts of millions at the moment, was once living a below-ordinary life like millions in the slums of Pune.
Born as Altaf Tadavi in a Muslim family on August 30, 1999, he had seen his family struggle financially, just like most of the families around them. But the little kid was different from the rest and was inspired to change his fortunes.

Right from an early age, Altaf Tadavi was inclined to music, and at the age of 12, he started singing qawwalis. Other than this, he was also interested in beatboxing and B-boying dancing, but his family members used to discourage him. Most of his family members and friends never took his talent seriously. Even Altaf’s father, who works in the Maharashtra police department, used to raise objections for his desire to make a career in singing.

It is true that behind all the taunts that Altaf Tadavi had received from his family members, there was this question, ‘How can a boy from a slum can enter the music industry?’. But to everyone’s surprise, Altaf Tadavi, a.k.a. MC Stan not only entered into the music industry but also ruled the Indian hip-hop industry. However, the journey from Altaf to MC Stan wasn’t a cakewalk as he had faced a lot of rejections and constant denials for a long time.
But it was MC Stan’s patience and his belief in his talent that paved the road for his dream to become one of the biggest rappers in India. However, when MC Stan started getting a lot of taunts and pressure from his family to stop dreaming about making a career in singing, he left his home. The youngster used to live on the streets for some time, and that time made him a one-man army.
When MC Stan was in the 6th standard, his elder brother introduced him to English hip-hop artists like 50 Cent, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and many more. After which, in 8th standard, MC Stan wrote the first rap of his life. That was a life-changing moment for MC Stan as he got heavily influenced by International rappers and also found his own originality as he went down in the art of hip-hop.
It was in 2018 when MC Stan released his first-ever song, Wata. In 2020, his first album was released when he introduced himself to the Indian hip-hop industry. Since then, he has given so many hit songs, some of them are the likes of Khuja Mat, Snake, Ek Din Pyaar, Broke Is A Joke, Basti Ka Hasti, Shana Bann, and the list goes on.
