âTy mama died, I was there, my nephew died, he was there He in my house more than I be there, more than Bey thereâ
IN 2018, WHEN musicâs power couple, The Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé), released the song âFRIENDSâ as part of their joint album EVERYTHING IS LOVE, it served as a massive shout-out to their friends who had been there for them through thick and thin. Tyran âTy Tyâ Smith had a special place in the song.
Ty Ty has known Jay-Z since the age of 14 and played a crucial role in the billionaire rapperâs life and career. Ty-Ty, who co-founded the entertainment firm Roc Nation in 2008 with Jay-Z, has also been instrumental in cultivating many of todayâs top artists, like DJ Khaled, J Balvin, J. Cole, Rihanna, and Shakira. Now, he is scouting talent among brown communities worldwide, and taking them to international fame.
To achieve this, he has initiated a new genre of music and a label, Desi Trill, along with Shabz Naqvi, an Indo-British artist and repertoire (A&R) executive at Roc Nation and a member of the hip-hop collective So Solid Crew. The duo promises that all songs released under Desi Trill will combine elements of hip-hop, R&B (rhythm and blues), and South Asian music from different regions.
Naqvi was born and raised in the culturally diverse backdrop of south London. His parents were born in Uttar Pradesh and moved to London in the 1960s. His musical journey began at 16 when he discovered his passion for producing music on his elder brotherâs equipment. This love for music production eventually led him to join forces with childhood friends to create So Solid Crew.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to oneâs doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you donât live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
