About
Also known as: Benjamin Reichwald
Bladee, the Stockholm born rapper and artist behind some of the most distinctive sounds in cloud rap, has spent over a decade building a sprawling body of work that defies easy categorisation. Born Benjamin Reichwald, he co founded the Drain Gang collective in 2013 alongside Ecco2k, Thaiboy Digital, and Whitearmor, and early exposure through Yung Lean's fanbase helped put him on the map. His catalogue runs from the hazy, Auto Tune drenched debut mixtape Gluee through to critically praised albums like The Fool, which landed on The Fader's best of 2021 list. Bladee is genuinely hard to pin down. His 2020 alone produced three projects across different tones and collaborators, including Good Luck with Berlin producer Mechatok. He also moonlights as a visual artist, having held his first solo painting exhibition, Real Sprin9, in 2021, and he has done fashion work too, including a clothing collection with Swedish American brand GANT. In 2022 he dropped both Crest with Ecco2k and his solo album Spiderr, and 2024 brought Psykos with Yung Lean and the solo record Cold Visions.
