Redding, California rapper/producer Space Cadet presents the Bui-directed music video for "Eyes Closed", his self-produced new single coming on the heels of visuals for previous single "Good Mood" (Youtube). A member of Bay Area collective Thirdeye Coalition, his releases include solo albums Still Love You (stream), Like Home and Letters From Space (Bandcamp) as well as his collaboration album The Love Nostalgic with Larry (watch the music video for "Shine") and his Turtlenecks project (watch the music video for "Make Over"). A professional sound engineer as well as a drummer/percussionist for marching bands, punk rock bands and everything in between, Cadet also collaborates heavily with fellow Bay Area rapper J.Lately (stream "Clean" featuring The Grouch).

"Initially I wanted to be walking next to the car while it was moving really slowly, to tie in with the theme of the hook, like a walk in the park type thing," Cadet says regarding the video. "However, the car (which my best friend Larry let me borrow) battery died and we had to wing it. I think in the end, the video now ties in much more to the verses as far as having to deal with the obstacles and adversities of the journey.”

"When I was done with it, I immediately started writing to it, which isn’t normal for me. That same energy transferred over into the lyrics so I just kept the title the same, which also isn’t normal for me. The concept itself is pretty self explanatory, like waking up in such a good mood you don’t let bad energy or worries you normally would have effect or ruin it.” Cadet is currently working on his third solo project.

Clean (feat. The Grouch), a song by J.Lately, The Grouch on Spotify

Bay Area, California emcee J.Lately presents his new single "Clean", featuring a guest appearance from fellow Bay emcee and Living Legends co-founder The Grouch. "Clean" is produced by Space Cadet, the beatsmith behind half of Lately's 2017 album Be F*cking Happy (watch the "Papayas & Blunt Smoke" music video). Alongside group member Murs, The Grouch blazed trails in the '90s indie hiphop scene with his Living Legends crew, and recently released two albums simultaneously, Unlock The Box and The Tonite Show (Soundcloud). Last year J.Lately released the "Fun's Up" single (Soundcloud), "Free" (Soundcloud) and "By My Lonely" (listen) featuring fellow Bay Area emcee Locksmith. Hailing from Sebastopol, and having split time between Oakland and Southern California, Lately has toured with Andre Nickatina, Zion I, Locksmith, and A-Plus of the Hieroglyphics, and his previous releases include "Save Yourself" featuring Blu (Soundcloud) and visuals for "I'll Be Living" ft. Demrick (Youtube) and "Breathe" (Youtube). "We often look at times of struggle and pain as negative experiences, overlooking the opportunity it provides us for growth and renewal," J says about the new single. "This song is about accepting the inevitable presence of these more difficult times in our lives, and using them to bring us strength and positivity as we move forward. The track features The Grouch, who has been someone that's embodied this type of spirit to me throughout his career."
