Alex Cade is a young face in the Seattle music scene that’s originally from Detroit. Last year, he was a finalist in MoPop’s Sound Off! 21 & under music showcase competition. This won the 22-year-old artist ample exposure and the opportunity to play at Bumbershoot, KEXP, and Folklife.
Since then, he’s been making moves in the shadows to prepare for a major push. Today sees the release of his first major single of the new decade, “Get the Trippin.” This track is a signal for the explosive effect Cade is about to have on the city and the world.
Since 2017, Alex Cade has been giving us highly intelligent hip-hop that showcases cold bar delivery and melodic vocals that have an R&B sensibility. After dropping consistent singles he gave us his first full length, For A Reason, in 2019. This 11-track album shows off immense variety in both Cade’s beat selection and vocal stylings. Most notably, his single “Woosah” got a choice visual pairing that ran up solid numbers. The breezy visual that saw direction from SWIM TEAM is sitting organically at over 2.2k plays.

Two days after Bumbershoot last year, Alex gave us another 3-track EP to chew on. “P.S. You’ve Changed” has a leading single produced by Samurai Del that’s funky as hell. “Excuse Me, I’m Faded” further brings shine to Cade’s distinct style that turns up the flex but still remains incredibly smooth.
Del’s wavy production solidifies the track in its bounciness and replay value. The other two tracks perfectly contrast his ability to drop bar-after-bar, as well as deliver a driving soulful. Alex could really disrupt mainstream music with his listenable, yet unique and unapologetic sound.

These days, Alex Cade is moving with precision and pure intention with his music and his brand. He’s got a solid team around him and they’re ready to start hitting us hard. Cade’s new hit, “Get the Trippin,” is an energetic breakout single that will undoubtedly turn heads.
With each track he plans to drop moving forward, we can expect to see a lot of content surrounding each one. This song is meant to illustrate what would happen if Cade lost it. The aggressive beat put together by 19-year-old North Carolina producer Axthentic only further intensifies the vibes.
