Blaine Cameron Johnson, known as Cadet, was a London based rapper, songwriter and producer. As Krept’s cousin, Cadet entered the music business back in 2006 through being part of Krept and Konan’s crew. Since then, he started to release his own tracks and finally garnered general interest in 2018, when he partnered up with Deno for “Advice“.
At the end of 2018, I started working with Cadet’s manager. Unfortunately, only a few months later, Blaine lost his life in a car accident on the way to a show. We tried our best to let his memory live on through his music and videos shot prior.
He was due to perform at Wireless Festival in London, which we turned into a tribute with his family and friends.
