Cadet Rating legend: Krept life on his cousin's legacy

Feb 16,2020 5:58 am

At 9. February 2019, Blaine Johnson, better known as the Cadet , was on The Way to a gig at Keele University, when the taxi he was in crashed, killing Him and injuring The Other passengers in The Car . More Than a year later, when his debut album Rated Legend is published, a Cadet cousin Krept reflects on their in-times complicated relationship. Like I said, Kameron Virk...

putting private things, It is difficult in the public. I do it in my music, Because I know how much people look at artists and think That everything is great. But if You are open and honest and let them know That You are going through just as much stuff as You go, it helps. It can literally save lives. That 's why I'm so honest About how hard it was for me, since the Cadet died. As well as his debut album comes out, I would just Like to take a minute to reflect on his life and our relationship.

Some People have such crazy stories, You have to figure out a way to talk About You . Cadet 100% was one of these people. He was such a talented storyteller. Anyone who has heard, knows his music, That .

If You come from a certain place, a certain background, and You have to go through so much stuff... if You Like doing music, You rap, it put into words is not gonna be difficult. I think this is what separates a lot of people. It is only your story.

But before The World knew Him as a Cadet , he was a Blaine Johnson, my cousin. And for a Time he was MC and Tangy! Yes. MC champagne. When he spit his first bar, in my father's house in Brixton, which is what he was called. The poetry was actually Good , But I was Like "Bro, You can't be called MC bubbly'.

Cadet was always a funny kid. He was a troll, before we knew what trolls

Blaine was less than a month younger than me. So we were Always Together . Like , always. His father and my father are brothers, But our mothers are also close. I have an older brother, and we were really close. But My Brother spent some Time In Jamaica, and it was Just Me and Blaine. It was Like he was My Brother .

We spent Every Sunday at My Nan 's. These Sundays were a mood. We all used to go There Cadet , I, my father, his father, the cadets of sister Chandler, our nan and grandpa, our mom - and- Sometimes other cousins also. My Nan cooked it Every Sunday , So There was always food There . But it was also not only for this reason: we have only used to go There to play games, and buss jokes and Cadet would dance. He was always dancing when we were younger. The Guy loved the body-popping. And he was so sick! He was already a professional dancer, if he stuck with it. I used to body pop, a little bit - But he was to The Point where, when we used to go to parties, he used to be in The Middle and start body popping and everyone would go crazy.

There is Something Else That sticks with me from That age is also a picture, I just can't get from my head. I don't know why my father did it - a Cadet must have been naughty. But we were at the gas station, and You know, where he says, how much the gasoline per Liter? It is a small plug was There . He picked up Blaine and hung Him There through his pants. I know, Blaine swing helpless and crying and I can't get That out of my head. I used to About You Every Day laugh.

Ludo was Our Family game, we play it Every Sunday at our Nans

If we is a bit older, I took advantage of the 417 bus, which went from My House in Gipsy Hill, its in Clapham Common . It occurred to me literally right in front of the door. So, to travel if it was allowed, even in Secondary School , I would be There and it would Take Me all The Way There , or he comes to me Then, as a Cadet started living with his dad in South Norwood , we used to walk from Crystal Palace out of My House and jump on The 410 bus down to his father.

These buses are, where his name comes from a brand That has been a Cadet . We were on the bus, and I saw the Cadet thing, and I just said, "Cadet ! Why don't You call Cadet self?" He was Like "Cadet ? .... Yes. Yes, this is hard!" We have to was 14 or 15, and Ever since he was a Cadet .

I started to rap in front of Him , only Because all My Friends were. Did You do sets, in the end, and I was Like , I need a few bars to jump into the group. That 's when I began to write. And Then he saw all of us were to spit, so he began. The craziest thing is, even if his name was MC Sparkling, the lyrics were Good - I knew then he could spit.

We went together to Richmond College, when we turned 16 years old and has a whole new friendship group.

after things started to change That , though. I went to uni in Portsmouth, and the Cadet started to work. So we didn't have to see each other.

Me, Cadet , and his father Paul in a restaurant in South London Back when we were in college,

Me and Konan made a name for us at this point. We put out our first mixtape in my first year of uni. So I'm in uni, I make music, And Then we just got into mad problems and to be involved in the street stuff. It was, Like , lived three different lives I. It balancing was bare of things.

It looked Like Me and Konan were already successful - and every Time me and the cadets, felt Like he was asking for things. "Oh, can You do That for me. Can You promote That ?' We have But not No Money to make, we were still in the building.

We were not to see each other on Sundays now, since I was in Portsmouth. My Family thought I was distancing myself. The Cadet did not understand, until a few years later, when he was in the "soft" Phase of his own Career - as I call This Time in me - I was just working. He talks About the new album.

But we were not to speak openly of The Time . It is a communication problem. He used to songs or freestyles now and again and sending pictures for me. And I was Like , why is he more? And Then he would ask me to promote it! I was Like , 'Are You all right?' It was weird.

It really has for me and Kone in The Next few years. We have The Remix of Otis, the crazy viral. But it was a crazy Time - it was shortly after The Situation happened with Konan, where his step-father was killed. But we capitalised on the Otis-swing, letting the Paranormal, and at the end of the tour with Skepta. He gave us a few tips - basically they told us to do and us, not the labels or the Radio chasing - and we never looked Back really.

the Mobo Awards , Bet Awards and a record contract followed. But I never got a call from Cadet . I'm definitely someone who thinks Everyone has his own life'. I don't expect anything from anyone. But That was the person I most likely to live my whole, and I didn't share That with Him .

to Win a BET Award it was great - we could not believe That The Americans knew, Our Song

We would still see That The Other Sometimes round nan's on a Sunday. And when we were together it was normal. But for me, relationships are not just About when You see each other - it is About , if You are not with each other also. I'm sure at some point he would have said: "I'm proud of You '. But it was not, as it would have been if we were in the vicinity. I know for a fact.

At this point I had had enough. I just thought, 'Why are we Like That ? How came it so?" I missed That relationship and I knew he had gone Because of The Music . The only thing That was going to be our relationship Back was to Him make music, and to take them seriously.

That 's when I messaged Him and said: "Bro, You 're Wireless '. I needed to inspire Him . I knew how talented he was, and That if he took it seriously, he would be great. Sometimes You just need to the small fire.

Wireless , this year was crazy - There is loads of celebrities backstage were. When he saw That they come up to us, he was Like , 'What's the matter? These people are always big!' It's been 5,000 people in The Crowd That Day , must every single word Back To sing. All of Our Friends watched us perform from the side of The Stage . Cadet was The Last person leaving - I could see That it had worked. He was inspired.

I knew That taking the Cadet would change to Wi-Fi in 2015, His Way of thinking

according to felt, the things to me quite normal That . We'll talk all The Time began - especially About his music. As far as I was concerned, our relationship was solid. But he was still sending pictures for me to freestyle - Like to bitch. I thought That was just About The Music , so I was Like , whatever. As long as You make music, You can say what You want. But I didn't know, all the things he had thought happened.

That 's when The Letters came.

he told me He was dropping something. As I saw, To Krept the title of The Letter , I just knew That it was going to be honest with You .

Then a month later it happened again.
