When the streets speak, real ones listen. And with “DEM DEAD,” rising Afrobeats force DRELA is roaring from the rooftops, alongside Ghanaian heavyweight STONEBWOY. This explosive collaboration marks a defining moment for both artists. It sets the tone for a cultural takeover that stretches from Lagos to Accra and pulses through every speaker in between.
Produced by the legendary Mix Master Garzy, the track fuses Afrobeats, Dancehall, and a gritty undercurrent of street-hop, making it both a war cry and a rallying anthem for the doubted and underestimated. From the jump, Drela comes in swinging, his cadence sharp and deliberate, as if each bar was a bulletproof affirmation. Then comes Stonebwoy, bringing his Grammy-nominated gravitas with a verse that owns it.
And the visuals? A cinematic knockout. Shot across Lagos and Accra, the soon-to-premiere video brings the fire to life, showcasing two kings in their domain, united by brotherhood, defiance, and an unfiltered authenticity.
It’s a symbolic journey that mirrors the hustle, the pain, and ultimately, the power of pushing through. With a multi-market push already in motion from curated DSP placements to a wave of influencer support and regional rollouts, “DEM DEAD” is a statement.
