Quadeca has outdone himself on Vanisher, Horizon Scraper. He's excelled to unprecedented levels in all terms of songwriting, production, visuals and anything that comes with it. It’s been a steady climb up to the top for him, but now he’s truly reaping the rewards of being one of the most authentic, dedicated and talented musicians of the decade.
