Yung Lean & Bladee — Boiler Room, London

Filmed live set by Swedish rappers Yung Lean and Bladee for Boiler Room in London, on the main stage. Founding figures of the cloud rap scene and the Drain Gang collective, the two artists bring their internet-born melancholy and hazy textures to a fired-up crowd. In Boiler Room’s characteristically immediate format, the capture restores the direct connection between the performers and a packed audience, between atmospheric autotune, vaporous beats and underground anthems that have become cult favorites among a generation raised on post-internet rap. This filmed set documents the importance of Yung Lean and Bladee in the evolution of hip-hop across the 2010s and 2020s, at the crossroads of rap, electronic music and DIY aesthetics. For fans of live hip-hop, cloud rap and club culture, this performance offers a representative glimpse of a singular sound world, captured close to the energy of a concert. An ideal document for reliving a highlight of the international alternative rap scene in London.
