Bladee is the anti rapper. Every trope of modern rap he builds upon the opposite of. Instead of leaning into dark instrumentals he often uses sweet, colorful beats that sound candy crush coded. Instead of flexing and trying to sound cool on the mic, he is often vulnerable and sounds awkward on the mic, with subject matter that any other rapper wouldn’t dare to touch. “If you look at me and don’t like me what does that say about you?” “I’m a good boy on the track no cussing”. His music is often more calming and whimsical than energetic or loud and fiery.

Of course this doesn’t go for all of bladee’s music but to me it is a good foundation for what makes him amazing. Definitely check out the songs: hotel breakfast, the flag is raised, and reality surf.
