Words you can keep
He's a self produced, self made, mixing mastering mountainous peak of originality. One of the best artists to grow from the cold digital space, Sisyphus is my favourite song of all time. An underrated powerhouse of diverse catchy antipop, alt r&b, industrial hyperpop and new genres entirerly, Quadeca is a potential potent zeitgest visionary. His relatability fuels hope in many recording voice memos of their own, Quadeca independently forming the most memorable music from the new digital age.

From Me To You, is an ambitious industrial hyperhiphop creshendo of a never ending climb. A conceptual long distance relationship with a complex snowy musicality, the highly anticipated album burns Ben's bridges with normality, indepently climbing the industry through the introspective construct of a mountain. Every peak a realisation that meaningless summits only distract from the heavy existential snow filling our boots. Whilst not exploring the snowy experimental blizzard to its full potential, From Me To You is the 20 year old's magnum opus. We can only go up from here. Before it goes to you, it starts from me, and Quadeca is one of the most underrated artists you have ignored for long enough. He is a talented staple of our generations musical potential.
Basic person : Ew! Dude. Is that quadeca? That youtube rapper ksi tik tok guy?

Art connoisseur : No, its Quadeca the independent soundscape inspired multi instrumentalist and self produced musical prodigy. Dude.

Basic person : Yb better.

*The art connoisseur becomes visibly enraged, but controls himself and resists the urge to take out his AK.

Basic person : Have you heard of drake or brockhampton? They're pretty indie, you probably wouldn't have heard of them.

*GUNSHOT SOUNDS

Feeling a decent 5 on this one guys.

QuakeCon 

The largest LAN party.. ever. 2005 marked QuakeCons 10th annual celebration of everything gaming. It hosted up to 4000 computers, and plenty more people just showing up off the street. 2004 and 2005 were held at the Gaylord Resort in Grapevine, TX. Every year they get a bigger budget, and better swag (free stuff). If you get the chance, go, you won't be displeased. Also, bottles of Bawls are passed out like candy, and are used to supplement the 3 hours of sleep each night that the average person gets. QuakeCon is a celebration of all things gaming, but by tradition and name, is really a hail to FPS games, especially games in the Quake series.
You: "Hey boss, I need a week off of work so I can get 8 hours of sleep, and play 132 hours of games at QuakeCon. It's really important."

Boss: "BOOM HEADSHOT!"
