Nigerian rising star Drela has joined forces with Ghana’s Afrodancehall heavyweight Stonebwoy on a powerful new single titled “Dem Dead.” The track, produced by Ghana’s Mix Master Garzy, is a gritty fusion of African Dancehall and Afrobeats, recorded in Ghana and brimming with cross-border energy.
Speaking about the song on YouTube, Drela shared: “That emotion found its way into every lyric and every note of ‘Dem Dead.’ The song itself is a vibrant blend of African Dancehall and Afrobeats, full of rhythm and energy but also layered with respect and admiration both for the journey and for those who inspired me along the way. ‘Dem Dead’ isn’t just a party anthem; it’s a celebration of dreams coming true, of the power of unity through music.”
The collaboration marks a major milestone for Drela, signaling his bold entry into the continental spotlight. For Stonebwoy, it’s another testament to his commitment to uplifting emerging African talent.
