Scorching metal background with trap lyrics...

BVDLVD is truly operating in his own lane.

Still only 19 years old, the artist has shared two full albums, with ‘Project Jinchuriki’ and ‘BVDIDEA’ melding together trap and metal.

It's a parent's nightmare and a kid's dream, with BVDLVD working completely on his own terms.

New album 'LUNATIC' lands on May 27th, and it's certainly an experience, the caustic atmosphere revelling in dank, murky production.

New single 'TREAT YOU' leads the way, with BVDLVD surging into some dangerous waters.

It's a thrilling rollercoaster ride, one accompanied by some seismic visuals.
