Last October, Zeds Dead unleashed their long-awaited debut album Northern Lights. Since its release, they've not only been getting their Deadbeats imprint in order, but they've continued working on new material, or in the case of their new collab with Diskord and Reija Lee "Blood Brother," polishing off material that's been gestating for a while.
"This song was in the works for a couple years now," the duo says. "We always thought it was dope but it took a while to get right. We've been fans of Reija Lee for quite a while now so it was great to finally put this out."
Reija's vocals are the key here. The understated, trap-y instrumental that Zeds Dead sorted out with Diskord is emotional enough, but Reija's voice takes this track to anthemic levels.
One has to imagine that "Blood Brother" (which is their second single since the release of Northern Lights) will be playing during the first official Deadbeats Tour, which kicked off in June and ramps up in September. The lineup is massive, featuring the likes of Anna Lunoe, Playboi Carti, Ghostface Killah, Mr. Carmack, Diskord, Grandtheft, and many more.
