DIVINE’s independent hip-hop label Gully Gang Entertainment has officially released Dei Thambi, a fierce and humorous new Tamil hip-hop single from Chennai rapper Yasin, produced by the legendary independent trailblazer Tenma.

Born out of a desire to hold a friend accountable, Dei Thambi (meaning Hey Little Brother) is a sharp call-out record addressing toxic behaviour, infidelity and disrespect toward women. Instead of leaning into a preachy lecture, Yasin brilliantly uses biting Chennai slang, satire and humour to deliver an intense message. The high-energy track is further elevated by an unexpected, infectious Spanish refrain running through the hook.

The single marks a major cross-regional milestone, bringing Chennai’s vibrant independent hip-hop ecosystem into the Gully Gang fold through a strategic collaboration with Tenma's label, Mothertongue Music.

Yasin states, "I wanted to troll a friend of mine, so I made this song. Somewhere in the process I realised we all have that one friend who needs to be called out. Working on this with Tenma sir and Gully Gang was pure fun. We did not overthink it, we just let the music speak."

Tenma states, "I am back in the studio, working straight out of the box with Yasin. We have made a lot of music together and this is one of the first tracks from that arsenal to see the light. Yasin is a treat to work with."

Jeff Soares, Senior Associate A&R and Operations Manager, Gully Gang Entertainment states, "This is a rare kind of record, one that makes you move and moves you at the same time. Yasin and Tenma have made something that is funny and sharp and still says something worth hearing. We are glad to keep pushing more music out of the South."

Yasin Sherif is an emerging rapper, lyricist, and performer from Chennai. Raised in a working-class family, he documents his world through a multilingual lens, writing in Tamil, English and Hindi. His music seamlessly finds humour in hardship, blending sharp satire and personal storytelling to reflect on relationships, ambition, and the contradictions of everyday life in Chennai.

Tenma (Tiburtius Vinodh Rubin) is an iconic artist, producer, and cultural catalyst from Chennai. He first broke barriers in Tamil independent music with his indie band Kurangan, later co-founding The Casteless Collective—a revolutionary, anti-caste musical movement. His critically acclaimed film composition work includes Irandam Ulagaporin Kadaisi Gundu and Natchathiram Nagargiradhu. He currently runs the pan-genre label Mothertongue Music and the educational platform 10ma's Producer Circle.

Dei Thambi is out now on all major streaming platforms.
