+#77 on Billboard Hot 100 +93 Million Total Streams +RIAA Certified Gold

Hip-hop superstars A$AP Rocky and Famous Dex came together once again to finally drop the long anticipated music video for their hot single, “Pick It Up.”

The AWGE/Hidji Films directed visuals took place in New Jersey with Dex and A$AP submerged in an crazy flea market, surrounded with beautiful women and bootleg fashions. The FKi produced record was released in October of 2017 exclusively with Complex. Along with the premiere, Dex announced his debut album, Dex Meets Dexter. The instant success of “Pick It Up” shouldn’t come as a surprise as Complex called the record “exciting,” XXL referred to it as a, “potential club banger,” and Hot New Hip-Hop stated, “The song itself certainly lives up to the hype, and both rappers play to their strengths.”

After a few short weeks, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Now the record is certified Gold, currently sits at #77 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has over 93 million total streams.

Since he splashed on the scene in 2015, Famous Dex has had the Internet talking. After signing with 300 Entertainment and Rich the Kid’s Rich Forever label imprint, Dex released viral hits like “Drip From My Walk” and “Hit Em Wit It.” The Chicago native soon caught the attention of A$AP Ferg, appearing on two records from his latest mixtape, Still Striving. After making an incredible impression on the A$AP Mob, Dexter connected with the group’s frontman, A$AP Rocky for an unforgettable collaboration, “Pick It Up.”

Famous Dex’s debut album, Dex Meets Dexter will be available for fans this Spring. Take a look at the “Pick It Up” video below! Watch “Pick It Up Ft. A$AP Rocky”:

Drela and Stonebwoy Deliver a Masterclass in Grit on ‘DEM DEAD’

Published

on

The Afrobeats scene is evolving rapidly, and “DEM DEAD” by Drela and Stonebwoy might just be its next pivotal moment. The song doesn’t tiptoe into your speakers — it kicks the door open and announces itself with teeth-baring confidence. Drela, still on the ascent, raps like someone who knows his moment has arrived. Every bar is sharp, laced with realness, and aimed like arrows toward his sceptics.

Stonebwoy, a legend in his own right, doesn’t just lend a verse — he elevates the entire track. His voice, full of lived wisdom and unmistakable power, balances Drela’s youthful ferocity with a seasoned calm. Their chemistry is undeniable. You can almost hear the unspoken respect between them, making “DEM DEAD” not just a collaboration, but a cultural handshake between generations and regions.

Sonically, Mix Master Garzy cooks up a storm. The beat is aggressive but polished, with layers of percussive flair and melodic tension that reflect the emotional weight of the track. This isn’t background music — it’s front and center, demanding full attention. The production moves like a soundtrack to a revolution, and Drela and Stonebwoy are its leading voices.

The visual treatment seals the deal. Shot across iconic locations in Lagos and Accra, the music video fuses art and symbolism with street realism. There’s a narrative here — one of struggle, resistance, and ultimate triumph. Both artists appear in their element, delivering not just performance but presence. The shots of unity and resilience speak louder than any lyric.

In a time where feel-good anthems often overshadow songs with true intent, “DEM DEAD” reminds us of the power of message music. It’s a battle hymn for the ambitious, the underdog’s war chant. Drela is clearly not just chasing clout — he’s building legacy. And with Stonebwoy backing him, the world better be ready.
