Out of nowhere. No warning. No countdown. Cheema Y and Gur Sidhu just released “Bermuda Triangle,” an eight track album that is hands down one of the fire projects we have heard all year. This is the kind of surprise drop that reminds you why you stay plugged into the Punjabi hip hop scene.
Let us talk about what makes this album special. Cheema Y is a writer who knows how to say exactly what he means, and Gur Sidhu as a producer is the perfect pairing. They understand each other. The chemistry is undeniable. Every beat lands. Every bar hits. It is not rushed. It is not sloppy. This is crafted music.
Now the tracks that are standing out. “Money 2X” and “Jackpot” are the ones going viral right now, and for good reason. Jackpot especially is everywhere on Reels and TikTok. The beat is infectious. The flow is smooth. But that is not where the album stops. “CEO” has been crazy because that beat is all over the place right now. It is hypnotic. It makes you move. “Love Salary” is another one turning heads.
But here is what impressed us the most. “Komagata Maru” is introspective. It is the moment in the album where you take a breath. Cheema goes deeper here. He is referencing one of the most painful chapters in Punjabi history, when in 1914, 376 Punjabi passengers were refused entry into Vancouver and held on a ship in the harbour for two months before being forced back to India. For a rapper to pull that history into a song in 2026 and make it hit the way it does is something else entirely. That kind of awareness, that kind of storytelling, is what separates good albums from great ones.
Listen Here:
The other tracks round out the project with the same energy. Nothing feels like filler. Every song has a purpose.
What stands out most is how fearless this album feels. In a time where Punjabi hip hop is getting more attention than ever, Cheema Y and Gur Sidhu are not trying to please everyone. They are making music that is honest, hard, and rooted in something real. “Bermuda Triangle” is only eighteen minutes long but it carries the weight of a much bigger project.
