On the evening of July 8, producer 2pillz (Pham Phu Nguyen, 27 years old) - known as the billion-view producer of Vietnamese music with many hits by Gen Z singers - released his debut album called PILLZCASSO.
At the album launch event, 2pillz played the entire album as DJ, with the participation of singers who collaborated with him such as Van Mai Huong, tlinh, Nee Nee, Vu Phung Tien...
Naming their debut album PILLZCASSO, 2pillz was inspired by the artist Pablo Picasso, a rebellious and limitless art icon.
Van Mai Huong, 2pillz don't know who is 'trapping' who
As one of the singers who contributed to the album, Van Mai Huong joked that she was "tricked" by 2pillz. When the album was completed at the last minute, when they should have been mastering it, 2pillz still sent Van Mai Huong a demo of the new song and said it was for the next album. Van Mai Huong teased her younger brother: "This song is 9 points, with my voice it's 10 points."
Hearing that, 2pillz urged Van Mai Huong to come over and record immediately. The singer came over and recorded within 2 hours.

When he heard about this, producer Aiden of S-HUBE (2pillz's management company) commented that Van Mai Huong was too indulgent with 2pillz. The song is called Buoc di/nan lai?, in the boleafro genre (bolero combined with afro), originally composed by 2pillz for AI to sing, so many notes were very difficult. Van Mai Huong said she only recorded 6 verses, this is her most unique song.
"Listening to the story, I don't know who is trapping who, but anyway we have another good work to listen to" - MC Nicky (Anh trai say hi) commented.

As for tlinh, a long-time collaborator with 2pillz, she said she has great faith in her brother's talent. She has no doubt that this album will be excellent.
Producer WOKEUP said that he and 2pillz have been close friends for a long time, making music together in a small room in Hanoi until seeing his friend on big stages and having a series of hits that were well received by the audience. In WOKEUP's heart, 2pillz is "Vietnam's number 1 producer".
Pablo Picasso, chaos and disruption
With their debut album, 2pillz wants to prove their creativity and ambition to shape a new musical identity in the increasingly bustling Vietnamese music market.
Sharing about the inspiration behind the album, 2pillz said: "The album's name was inspired by Pablo Picasso, a rebellious and limitless art icon. 2pillz (or PILLZCASSO) wants to use music to paint personal colors: both chaotic and full of depth.

Conflicting emotions, brokenness, beauty in distortion... all are the materials for this album.
I also want to make an album of "bouncing, pretty, emotional" melodies, giving listeners mixed emotions (dancing in tears, crying in happiness)".
The album includes 14 songs, combined with a strong lineup of artists such as Van Mai Huong, tlinh, MONO, Grey D, Orange, G Ducky... and especially "Go Cong white swallow" Phuong Dung.
These are not only famous faces in Vietnamese music, but also inspirations and companions of 2pillz in the process of creating the album.
2pillz's biggest hits, which helped him gain billions of views and listeners, were " If That Time", "Single Girl" and the entire album "Ai" which was very successful. (tlinh); Looking for love (MONO); Seasickness (Van Mai Huong), A few words can change people ( Vaicaunoicokhiennguoithaydoi - GreyD, tlinh), theme song Rap Viet We Go Hard...
