Morphology
real + blud
The adjective 'real' is a transparent intensifier, so if a learner already knows 'blud' as slang for a close friend/‘blood’ (brother), the combined meaning 'very close friend' is predictable. However 'blud' is dialectal/slang and absent from standard dictionaries—understanding the MWE therefore depends on sociolinguistic knowledge rather than purely compositional semantics, making it only partially predictable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Real blud may come from people using 'blood' to mean family and very close friends, with blud as a casual way to say 'blood' and real making it stronger. So the phrase gives the image of someone who feels like family, and that's why it means 'a very close friend' you can trust.
