Meteoric Rise to Stardom

Cadet initially became known for his association with the rappers Krept and Konan’s ‘Gipset’ crew. He often appeared in music videos for the group’s freestyles. In April 2008, he released his first commercial mixtape, `Are you Ready.’

As the crew continued their freestyles about gang life and living in London, their popularity increased, especially on social media. ‘Gipset’ eventually had to break up in 2013, after Krept and Konan signed their major label deal while the other members decided to focus on their solo careers.

Cadet soon began pursuing his solo career, and in 2015, he released his first freestyle, `Slut,’ which gained immense popularity. It received millions of views. The following year, Cadet released his debut EP, `The Commitment,’ which had features from Donae`o, Konan, and Tis Rome. It was released as a digital download.

The EP featured Cadet describing stories from his life but also claiming he was no story-teller. He further added that they were not any made-up stories that were re-laid for the listener’s entertainment.

The same year, he also released `Letter to Krept,’ for which he received immense recognition. The song featured him communicating with his cousin about a misunderstanding. Their story and the principal events that led to the distance between them were elaborated in the song. Krept then released `Letter to Cadet,’ where he shared his side of his story.

The following year, Cadet released his second EP, `The Commitment 2,’ which was also released as a digital download.

In 2018, he released several singles, such as `Closure,’ Advice,’ `Pumpy,’ and `Trendy.’
