Artist Spotlight: Bladee

Bladee, who emerged alongside Yung Lean, has been instrumental in defining cloud rap through their collective, Drain Gang, closely associated with Sad Boys. Their melancholic and atmospheric style has left a mark on underground rap, and collaborations with mainstream artists like Charli XCX, Skrillex, A$AP Rocky, and FKA Twigs have brought them greater visibility.

Inspired by the vaporwave aesthetic and the 2010s Tumblr internet culture, Bladee embodies a blend of ethereal sounds and online influences that continues to resonate within the cloud rap scene. For a taste of what's to come, check out his latest track, KING NOTHINGG.

He’ll be performing on the Sapporo stage at Igloofest Montréal on Thursday, January 23. Get your tickets now!
