Even though "Cold Visions" is extremely dark, this may be the most cavernous track on the project.

Bladee and Yung Lean go together like peanut butter and jelly. The natives of Sweden are almost always able to display synergy whenever they are on a track together. They might not have as many collaborations as Metro Boomin and Future, for example, but their creative minds do not clash and create chaos. Which is why this new track from Bladee, "TERRIBLE EXCELLENCE," sounds great.

This is one of the duo's latest collaborations and it lands on Bladee's newest project, Cold Visions. It is the 19th offering and second of 2024. The last album we got from him was just last month with Lean called Psykos. Cold Visions features a massive 30-song tracklist and this is just one of the team ups with Bladee and Yung Lean.

It is the fourth out of the five outings, and we think it is the strongest out of the pack. The beat, provided by Whitearmor and F1LTHY is incredibly aggressive and bassy. It fits the rest of the tracklist really well due to its commitment of being dark in tone. Bladee and Lean are rapping about how they are essentially addicted to loneliness and being a lone wolf. "I wanna kill everything just like Chucky, the boys lucky
The shards on me shine lucky, I'm out hunting / The knife, need to find something, I'm blood hungry
," Bladee raps.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pretty violence in the silence, it's a dark story
Living legends in the flesh, it's all pain and glory
I don't even put the pressure, yeah, they do it for me
Enjoy the moments from the nightmares [?]
With the boring blood tourin', through the pressure we are foreign
Not an angel without horns, there's no roses without thorns
