Synopsis
Tiger Style follows two Sikh brothers from Scotland who grew up learning tabla and Punjabi music before falling in love with hip-hop, eventually building a career that took them from local gigs to producing white-label mixes for artists like Eminem and 50 Cent.
Raised in a household that encouraged their passion, the brothers split roles naturally—one handling production, the other managing the business—while maintaining a public image rooted in their Sikh identity and values.
The film also captures a more personal side, showing one brother teaching his young daughter to sing kirtan at the Gurdwara and reflecting on how fatherhood changed him.
At its core, the documentary asks why Punjabi music hasn't sparked a conscious cultural movement the way hip-hop did, and positions Tiger Style's deliberate rejection of alcohol and drug references in their music as an answer—choosing to entertain while uplifting their community rather than reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
