We caught up with Quadeca a little bit last month when he crashed the Kevin Abstract interview with Love Spells, and thanks to overwhelming demand, here he is solo and in-depth. Still just 24 years old, Quadeca, aka Benjamin Fernando Barajas Lasky, has been extremely online for almost half his life. Starting his YouTube channel back in 2012, putting up Fifa videos, then becoming known as a YouTube rapper, getting in spats with KSI, and eventually swerving into more experimental sonic territory, releasing his own brain-bending records as well as working with others like Abstract and Danny Brown.
We talk about all this plus his latest opus Vanisher, Horizon Scraper, an ambitious concept record that has a mythos all its own (and we get into it big time). We also discuss the influence of his parents, his early-years piano teacher, his loyal fanbase, and learning to sail as part of the creation of this fourth album. A dedicated polymath, his ethos on music videos and remaining independent is truly inspiring. Definitely don’t sleep on this conversation.
