"Rabbi" is Rabbi Shergill's debut album which was released in 2004 by Anand Surapur's Phat Phish Records. While the company initially only put out 10,000 copies for sale, the album went on to sell in excess of 100,000 copies [ [http://www.timeoutmumbai.net/music/music_details.asp?code=70&source=4 Scale model] ] and its title track, Bulla ki jaana main kaun (Bulla, I know not who I am!), became an instant hit.

The other songs in the album are an eclectic mix, including songs of joy ("Ajj Nachna"), love ("Tere Bin") and even on contemporary issues ("Jugni"). Rabbi writes and sings in Punjabi and most of the songs in the album were composed and written by Rabbi himself except for "Bulla ki Jana" based on the poetry of 18th century Sufi mystic Baba Bulleh Shah, "Heer" from Heer by Waris Shah and "Ishtihar" by Shiv Kumar Batalvi.
