Milwaukee hip-hop artist DeAndrius has returned with his latest single “No Time to Grieve,” featuring fellow artist Afb Quis. Released May 29, the track continues to build on the raw, introspective storytelling that first caught our attention with his 2024 release “Wakin Up.”

At just over two and a half minutes, “No Time to Grieve” wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter. The production carries a mid-tempo bounce that’s equally suited for head-nodding and deep reflection. The energy here sits in a contemplative sweet spot—danceable enough to move, but grounded enough to really let the lyrics hit home. With its major key tonality and balanced mood, there’s a sense of resilience woven throughout, even when the subject matter touches on heavier themes.

DeAndrius has established himself as a diary-page rapper, an artist who puts personal struggle, loss, and survival at the center of his work. “No Time to Grieve” fits squarely in that tradition, but the addition of Afb Quis adds a new collaborative dynamic to the mix. The two play off each other without stepping on toes, keeping the track moving forward with purpose.
