The collaboration represents a major milestone for Drela

Nigerian fast-rising sensation Drela has officially released his anticipated single, “DEM DEAD”, a gritty and infectious anthem featuring Ghana’s Afrodancehall heavyweight, Stonebwoy.

Blending street-hardened storytelling with a vibrant mix of Afrobeats and Caribbean-rooted rhythms, the track captures the resilience, hustle, and raw ambition of Africa’s new generation.

From the very first beat, “DEM DEAD” oozes energy and urgency — a soundtrack for youth striving to rise above life’s toughest challenges.

The collaboration represents a major milestone for Drela, marking his biggest crossover moment to date, as he steps into the continental spotlight alongside one of Africa’s most consistent musical exports.

For Stonebwoy, “DEM DEAD” continues his well-documented commitment to amplifying emerging talents across Africa, proving once again why he remains a dynamic force in global music.

The high-powered single is produced by Ghana’s Mix Master Garzy, a multi-award-winning producer known for crafting cross-border hits. The track was recorded in Ghana, adding a distinctly West African synergy to the production.
