"This is a great feeling and it was hard to keep the news a secret until the show's release" shared Raydizz. "When I made this song a few people didn't understand the sound, but it's a great feeling when you get the validation from the fans and platforms like Netflix. In2You is quickly becoming one of my biggest releases ever."

Blood & Water is one of Netflix most popular shows, in their recent submission to South Africa’s Parliament, Netflix revealed that Blood & Water’s first season had 14 million viewers outside South Africa and for every 1 South Africa who viewed the show, 35 international viewers tuned in. These numbers show the vast reach of the show and the incredible opportunity that was offered to Raydizz and his Zimbabwean collaborators on the song.

Since the release of the second season, the show has enjoyed increased attention from international audiences with American celebrities like Gabrielle Union and Lil Nas X tweeting glowing praise for the production. 

Raydizz is set to release his upcoming EP W.E.I.R.D soon.
