    Since 2018 Quadeca (a YouTube rapper best known for his series styles of rap where he impersonates other artists) has been trying to break out of the stereotypical YouTube rapper mold by becoming more experimental in his music and beats which he fully produces himself.

    His upcoming release I Didn't Mean To Haunt You is a concept album about Quadeca dying and is a "posthumous" album from the perspective of his ghost.

    Combining this concept with his own blend of glitchpop, shoegaze, folk singer/singerwriter, and rap and you get his first single which includes a sample from The Beatles song "For No One" and is from the perspective of his spirit mourning his living mother:

    His second and more simple single of the two Tell Me A Joke:

    Now I don't think anyone else is interested in this besides @FiveOh1 and I but I figured I'd make this if anyone is interested!

    So glad you posted this. I thought about it but I didn’t think anybody here would care. I never listened to Quadeca like that before until I caught wind of Born Yesterday, and I thought it was incredible. I think I like Tell Me A Joke even more. This type of vibe is right up my alley. Him going from a corny YouTube rapper to this is astonishing. I love the experimentation

    Not on this album so far but maybe the Danny Brown song would be one, his last album From Me To You has much more rapping so far.

    I greatly prefer his more "artistic" more minimalist lyric stuff but here's a couple were he's rapping more.




    I think he can still fall under the corny label a lot with his flows and punchlines but even through that his production is great.


    And here's a weird a--- feature that I enjoy that people don't like very much.

    Those two singles are pretty good. His older s--- isn't for me, but I'll probably listen to this new album
