He launched his recording career as a teenager YouTuber in the mid-2010s with diss track material before pivoting to more serious experimental hip hop and indie pop in the late 2010s. His 2022 album I Didn't Mean to Haunt You - a concept album about death, grief, and the afterlife - received critical attention and established him as one of the most distinctive contemporary experimental hip hop artists. His 2024 follow-up Scrapyard continued his trajectory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuadeca's sound combines experimental hip hop, art rap, indie pop, alternative R\u0026amp;B, ambient hip hop, and post-emo with his distinctive vocal delivery (use of falsetto and intimate phrasing), integration of indie rock, ambient, and folk arrangements into hip hop compositions, and lyrical content addressing mortality, grief, identity, and experimental conceptual approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Me to You (2019, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice Memos (2020, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Didn't Mean to Haunt You (2022, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrapyard (2024, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-released and Republic Records pressings of the Quadeca catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Quadeca typically start with I Didn't Mean to Haunt You (2022). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hip-hop-vinyl-records\"\u003eHip-Hop\/Rap\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/experimental-vinyl-records\"\u003eExperimental \u0026amp; Oddball\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"quadeca-i-didn-t-mean-to-haunt-you-green-vinyl","title":"I Didn't Mean to Haunt You 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe album, released in November 2022, blends folktronica with elements of art pop, indietronica, and alternative R\u0026amp;B.
