Smurfs drops “Higher Love” video featuring DJ Khaled, Cardi B, Natania, and Subhi; watch

Since its announcement, “Higher Love” has been building anticipation—and now, the video is finally out. The track offers a glimpse into a unique collaboration, blending elements of mainstream hip-hop with a Punjabi twist. Natania’s English vocals flow smoothly alongside Subhi’s energetic Punjabi hook, while DJ Khaled and Cardi B add their signature style to the mix. The result is a cultural crossover that brings different sounds together in a fresh way.

Produced by DESI TRILL and featuring artists like DJ Khaled, Cardi B, Natania, and Subhi, the song includes Punjabi music in a Hollywood animated film for the first time.

On the collaboration, DJ Khaled said, “I’m excited about the movie but I’m grateful to be part of this song, thank you for inviting me in another one”
