Rap music in China has turned "patriotic" as the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/xi-jinping-holds-space-chat-with-astronauts-lauds-new-horizons-for-humanity-393393">Communist Party</a> celebrates its 100th birthday this year.

A Chinese band has released a song in which 100 Chinese rappers applauded the Chinese Communist Party’s achievements with the song titled "100%".

The song was meant to “expresses the patriotic soul of each rapper”, according to Hip-Hop Fusion, the music company behind 100%.

The 15-minute song praised China's 5G technology, space programme even as a rapper criticised G7 nations giving the song a political colour.

The soundtrack was released on a streaming platform&nbsp;with several top stars taking part to boost Communist Party's birthday party on July 1. However, reports say it hasn't proved to be a chartbuster yet.

The song praises the Red Army and the rise of "New China". The Communist Party has included film festivals and several commemorations ahead of the grand July 1 celebrations.

The lyrics targeted&nbsp;at the youth goes like this, “From extreme poverty to radiant, I have no regret to be born in China, new high-speed trains, new ports, new looks, and a new story, go China, let’s rejuvenate the great nation."

Another set of lyrics trumpets the achievements of the army: “We used to look forward to the Red Army, a spring breeze all over the Earth. Keep tradition in mind, achieve socialism, as the red flag stays in my heart.”

The song urges&nbsp;the youth to "shrug off indifference and self-defeat" and to "ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth, to secure life and fortune for the people."

Chinese rappers&nbsp;have increasingly come under the regulator's lens for using tattoos with TV shows discouraged to promote hip-hop culture.

Ahead of Communist Party’s 100th birthday, rap turns '100%' patriotic in China

Imagine 100 plus musicians coming together for performing three songs at one platform. Okay wait, don&#39;t imagine because we have a video for you

2016 can be called&nbsp;a successful year for the Indian cinema industry, owing to movie releases that offered to break stereotypical narratives, touched upon&nbsp;issues often ignored by cinema and saw some brilliant display of acting. Two movies that released last year&nbsp;&lsquo;Dear Zindagi&rsquo; and &lsquo;Udta Punjab&rsquo;, not only grossed at the box office but also received critical acclaim. There is however one other reason why it became a strong hit-- the music score. No points for guessing, but the music is lent by Amit Trivedi.

Watch these awesome musicians paying a tribute to famous Indian singer, Amit Trivedi. And the topping on the cake being a&nbsp;heartfelt perfomance by the singer himself towards the end of the performance.&nbsp;
