Bladee is repping Sweden heavy with his new two song release, “Ingen hör” and “Förstelnad,” both performed fully in his native language. It’s a rare move in today’s scene, but it fits him perfectly.
“Ingen hör,” which translates to “No Whore,” leans into a cold, dreamy sound. The production feels icy and distant, yet still beautiful, with Bladee floating over it in a way only he can.
“Förstelnad,” meaning “Stiffened” or “Paralyzed,” follows the same dark wave and alternative blend. These tracks aren’t really meant to be straight hip hop. Instead, Bladee builds a mood. A feeling. Something foggy, emotional, and strange in the best way.
If you’re trying to stretch your ears beyond the usual rap rotation, this two pack is a great place to start. Bladee continues to show why he’s one of Sweden’s most creative and unpredictable artists.
