Cadet's posthumous debut album set for release next month

The Rated Legend was announced yesterday (2 March), on what would've been Cadet's 30th birthday. He died in a traffic collision in February 2019 while travelling to one of his gigs in Staffordshire.

Cadet's posthumous album is produced by his cousin Krept of Krept & Konan, and will feature his 2018 single "Advice" featuring Deno, and last year's posthumous single "Gang Gang".

The LP will also include collaborations with Wretch 32, Chip, Young Adz and Krept, Swarmz, Tion Wayne, and more.

Cadet’s brand new album “The Rated Legend” will be out April 10th. All the support on this album would mean the world to Cadet. Thank you

Krept says of his late cousin and the album, "I am determined and driven to keep Cadet’s name alive and to making sure I can continue what he started and achieved, because I know how much this meant to him. It was a labour of love and passion to create this project from just hearing random tracks he recorded and turning it into a full body of work. Cadet recorded so much good music that it would have felt wrong to have not done this. Cadet was so loved that filling missing verses or hooks from guest artists was easy to do to finish this album. All producers and artists done this all for free. That’s love. Cadet would love this album just as much as we do. It has versatility and really shows his range as an artist. With this album Cadet’s legacy will keep going, his name will live on. I have enjoyed every moment of putting this album together with our family. You will hear why he is no longer underrated…"
