UPDATE: Thanks to GRM Daily, fans who were unable to attend can now see a dope recap of Cadet’s Rated Legend Show (above), which saw appearances from Krept & Konan, Stormzy, Dave, MoStack and more. What a bittersweet moment in time…RIP Cadet.

Last month, Cadet — one of London’s brightest stars — was tragically killed in a car accident. Since then, his family and friends (including real blood Krept & Konan) showed an outpouring of love and support for the fallen star. Today — on what should have been his 29th birthday — will see a huge celebration of Cadet’s life at the O2 Academy, and many of his peers will take to the stage to pay tribute.

Above lies the live stream of the ‘Rated Legend Show’; additional information can be seen below (you can also donate to his family here):

In memory of Cadet, Krept and Konan have organised The Rated Legend Show and featuring a line up of over 25 artists confirmed to perform. The show will take place on Cadet’s birthday at the O2 Academy in Brixton on Saturday 2 March. The concert will be streamed live.

Just prior to the momentous occasion, Krept (with the help of his Rap partner, Konan) delivered a heartfelt track titled “Last Letter To Cadet,” the final installment of songs that helped signal his reunion with his lost loved one a few years ago. Hell, it would be worth it to hear all three tracks in sequence below…just make sure you have your tissues ready (because I sure as hell wasn’t).

R.I.P. to the Underrated Legend. UPDATE: I also added another very dope tribute to Cadet from fellow peer Rapman (below).

“We The Family of Blaine Cameron Johnson otherwise known as Cadet (Underrated Legend) would like to share the sad news that during the early hours of 9th February 2019 he passed away as a passenger in a taxi, en route to a performance. Right now we the family appreciate your patience and will share with you any information as and when we can. Thanks for your support in advance. Love The Johnson Family #cadetcadet #imbuff #underratedlegend #ripcadet'”

A cousin of fellow UK emcee Krept, Cadet was steadily rising from the underground in South London, and was on his way to proper success. To see him life taken away so soon is heartbreaking.

Condolences to Cadet’s friends and family on their unfortunate loss.

With that said, Cadet and Yungen keep with the theme via their UK remix of the track, which see the two raising the bar from a lyrical standpoint:

I’m a sicko, I love these thick h***
Where are you now, let me make you dip low (yikes)
She came with her sis, I work the big bro
When i saw the thong, I couldn’t let ‘Sisqo’ like woah
Drew her from the hills to the stage
She likes girls, but she’s going through her faze
Now she thinks all because I got a song with Craig
That I’m gonna be waiting for seven days…
