Cambodian hip-hop powerhouse VannDa unveils the second installment of his trilogy of mini-albums entitled TREYVISAI (Khmer for “The Compass”) on March 21st!
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 favorite 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.
“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 favorite 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.” – VannDa on “NO DISRESPECT”.
The trilogy kicked off on March 14th with TREYVISAI I: The Search for Light, introducing high-energy flex tracks like “Out of My Mind“, “Me, My Flow, and I“, and “Fishing” which have already cemented their status as fan favorites after the exclusive listening party experience in Phnom Penh on January 24th and 25th. 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 May 1st, 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.
