Los Angeles-based rapper blackbear's long-awaited fifth album everything means nothing finally dropped this week, and his latest full-length record features a contribution from dance music heavyweight Marshmello.
The masked artist produced the song "half alive," which, upon first listen, is an immediate standout on the album carried by the spunk of punchy drums and driving pluck basses. It's a particularly funky angle for the chart-topping producer, who underscores blackbear's storytelling vocals with a dependable riff of shining guitar chords.
