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

“A true mystery… It was really good! So many twists. I was hooked!” – BookishPenguin
Jara Quinn’s life changed forever in college when her parents were killed in a car accident, leaving her adrift and grieving. Determined to honor their memory, she completed her studies and found solace in the arms of Katerina Lansing, the passionate and ambitious woman who became her first love. But after graduation, life pulled them in different directions—Jara joined the FBI, driven by a need for justice, while Katerina pursued a law career, dedicated to upholding the truth. Though they stayed in touch, their relationship became a bittersweet friendship rather than the romance they once shared.
Years later, Katerina’s world is turned upside down when her father announces his bid for president and her beloved grandmother dies under suspicious circumstances after learning her Foundation was hemorrhaging money. Desperate and unsure whom to trust, Katerina reaches out to Jara for help. Reunited, the spark between them reignites while they confront the mysteries surrounding Katerina’s powerful family.
As the pair delves deeper, they uncover hidden truths, dangerous alliances, and a sinister plot that threatens the people they hold dear. The dangers they face test not only their courage but the fragile bond of their rekindled love.
In the face of secrets, betrayal, and imminent danger, Jara and Katerina must decide if their love is real and strong enough to withstand the darkness that surrounds them. With lives at stake and time running out, can they protect Katerina’s family and find a way to heal themselves?
Don’t miss your chance to be among the first to enter the nest.

About the Author
Lee Sato lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with her partner of 20 years. A graduate of Franklin College with a B.A. in Psychology and Journalism, Sato spent more than three decades immersed in some of society’s darkest realities. Her career included working with gangs in the 1980s, adolescent and child psychiatry in the 1990s, and investigating crimes against children until her retirement in 2017.
Throughout it all, the faces of troubled teens and abused children remained with her. “Closure and justice were rarely the outcome,” she reflects. Writing became a way to process what couldn’t be forgotten — not through case notes or reports, but through storytelling.
Encouraged by her partner, she returned to a lifelong love of writing and crafted the powerful narrative that would become her debut novel. Hornet’s Nest marks the beginning of a new creative chapter, one born from real-life experience, empathy, and an unflinching look into the human condition.am
