With “DEM DEAD,” Drela proves he’s not just rising — he’s skyrocketing. The track is an electrified, genre-jumping force field that pulses with defiance and destiny. It’s got the bounce of Afrobeats, the edge of dancehall, and the soul of street-hop. Drela sounds like a man with something to prove, and Stonebwoy backs him like a general who’s seen every battlefield.


What’s wild is how spiritual this heat feels. Drela calls it personal and spiritual, and you hear that — not just in his lyrics but in the way his voice cracks and rises, like he’s fighting off every ghost of doubt mid-verse. Stonebwoy’s voice drops in like thunder — authoritative, raw, and grounded — driving the message home: those who bet against us? They’re already gone.


And just when you think the song couldn’t hit harder, the video lands. Shot between Lagos and Accra, it’s more than location — it’s legacy. It’s a vivid portrait of resilience, defiance, and brotherhood, shot through a lens of raw authenticity. If “DEM DEAD” is a mission statement, Drela and Stonebwoy just declared war on mediocrity — and they’re winning.



This release came our way via Decent Music PR, and as always, we’re glad to uncover exciting new talent through their picks.
