DESI TRILL Drops ‘Brown Is Everywhere Vol. 2' Featuring YUNG SAMMY, Natania And More
DESI TRILL releases Brown Is Everywhere Vol. 2, a six-track EP featuring YUNG SAMMY, Natania, Subhi, Mumzy, Muza, DJ LYAN, and Aman
A year after the success of its debut EP, genre-defining South Asian music label DESI TRILL has returned with Brown Is Everywhere (Volume 2) — a six-track compilation that blends South Asian heritage with the global soundscape of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and electronic music.
Founded by industry powerhouses Ty-Ty Smith and Shabz Naqvi, DESI TRILL has been at the forefront of taking South Asian sounds to international audiences. In 2024, the label reached a historic milestone when its artists Natania and Subhi were featured alongside Cardi B and DJ Khaled on Higher Love for Paramount's record-breaking animated feature The Smurfs. The track marked the first time Punjabi sounds were woven into an animated film soundtrack, pushing DESI TRILL even further into the global spotlight.
Now, with Brown Is Everywhere Vol. 2, DESI TRILL is once again curating a sonic journey that transcends borders. Speaking about the label's mission, co-founder Ty-Ty Smith said, 'The journey of DESI TRILL is a testament to the power of cultural convergence in music. From day one, our mission has been to dismantle boundaries and amplify voices that authentically blend heritage with contemporary sound. The success of 2024 underscores our unwavering commitment to this vision, proving that 'Brown Is Everywhere' is not just a compilation, but a global movement."
Shabz Naqvi added that the project was about more than just picking great songs, 'Curating Brown Is Everywhere Vol. 2 was about capturing the diverse pulse of South Asian talent and presenting it with uncompromising artistry. Each artist on this compilation embodies the innovative spirit and boundless potential that defines DESI TRILL. We are immensely proud to showcase such a formidable array of artists who are shaping the future of global South Asian music."
Six Tracks, Six Distinct Sounds
The EP brings together a powerhouse lineup of artists from across the globe:
DJ LYAN, Banglaboy x Dee MC – Tauba: A high-tempo electro mix designed to set dance floors alight.
Mumzy ft. Muza – Ki Kori: A melodic Bangladeshi collaboration with wide crossover appeal, especially among female listeners.
Subhi – Tehtul-E-Ishq: A beautifully crafted ballad that captures the soulful essence of India.
Aman ft. Shaurya – Neend: The newest DESI TRILL signee teams up with Shaurya for a lush, emotive composition.
A Celebration of Global South Asian Culture
To mark the EP's launch, DESI TRILL will host the Brown Is Everywhere party at Khar Social, Mumbai on August 22, 8 PM onwards. Hosted by Trishai, the night will feature live performances by MUKT, Jungle Assembly, The Dharavi Dream Project, Tryps, Suggahunny, and Nasha, with a special pre-birthday set to cap off the celebrations.
Over the years, DESI TRILL has become more than a music label — it's a cultural movement bridging continents. With Brown Is Everywhere Vol. 2, Smith, Naqvi, and their roster of talent continue to redefine what it means to be a South Asian artist on the global stage.
