Yung Lean (Jonatan Leandoer Håstad, born 1996) and Bladee (Benjamin Reichwald, born 1994) are Stockholm-born rappers and longtime members of the Drain Gang collective, widely credited with pioneering cloud rap's melancholic, internet-saturated aesthetic in the early 2010s. Their first full collaborative album, Psykos (2024), marked a sharp turn into post-punk and indie rock territory and landed on year-end lists at Pitchfork, Vogue, and Dazed. In October 2025 they followed it with the three-track EP Evil World, pushing further into darker, more chaotic sonic ground.
Yung Lean and Bladee released the three-track EP Evil World in October 2025, described as a step into darker and more chaotic shared territory.
Yung Lean released his fifth solo studio album Jonatan on 2 May 2025.
Yung Lean performed a sold-out solo concert at Avicii Arena in Stockholm on 1 March 2025, with Bladee among the guest appearances.
Yung Lean and Bladee performed together at Roskilde Festival on 3 July 2026, with further joint dates confirmed at Off Festival in Katowice (August 2026) and Club to Club in Turin (October 2026).
Both Yung Lean and Bladee separately announced they were leaving their longtime label and management company Year0001 in November 2024.
