Cambodian hip-hop powerhouse VannDa has unveiled the second installment of his trilogy of mini-albums entitled TREYVISAI (Khmer for “The Compass”).
A dive into chaos, conflict, and turbulence, TREYVISAI II: Burn Like the Sun explores the darkest moments before transformation. This mini-album is fueled by stadium-ready anthems, aggressive rap bangers, and emotional heartbreak tracks – delivering everything fans love about VannDa. It also features a standout collaboration with Laotian star Thinlamphone on 'Lovesick Blue', a track that quickly became a fan favourite during early previews.
On the focus track 'NO DISRESPECT', VannDa taps into his raw, untamed energy in a high-octane fusion of rap, metal, and rage music engineered for stadiums and mosh pits. Fueled by relentless flows and his signature electrifying production, it is a masterclass in controlled chaos—aggressive, unfiltered, and unapologetically bold. Once again VannDa pushes his sonic boundaries, delivering a high-voltage anthem that hits just as hard in the heart as it does physically.
VannDa shares, “I love this song and tapping back into my rage roots. It carries a similar energy to ‘You’re Already Dead,’ which is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever made. This year, I’ve been really focused on expanding my sound with stadiums and large-scale concerts in mind. Traveling to global music festivals and watching my own shows grow to massive crowds has been inspiring - I want to give my fans music that makes those moments even bigger, even crazier.”
The trilogy kicked off on with TREYVISAI I: The Search for Light, introducing high-energy flex tracks like 'Out of My Mind', 'Me, My Flow, and I', and 'Fishing'. The lead track 'Smoke Up' features a collaboration with Thai rap icon YOUNGOHM, a milestone collaboration that showcases the synergy between two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hip-hop forces. The track merges their unique styles over VannDa’s signature production, reinforcing his role as a trailblazer in the region’s rap scene.
Closing out the trilogy, TREYVISAI III: The Return to Sovannaphum arrives 1 May, marking VannDa’s reclamation of identity and purpose. Merging his past and future into a powerful artistic statement, this final chapter builds on the massive breakout success of global hit 'Time to Rise' while pushing the boundaries of Khmer music and hip-hop fusion. By weaving traditional Cambodian sounds with modern influences, VannDa creates a sonic time capsule - one that both honours cultural heritage and propels it forward to unchartered territory.
