North West London based emcee Casscade drops the visual to his latest track DANCE FOR ME, produced by German producer OUHBOY & Matt Grifasi

Casscade returns with his most creative project to date ‘Dance For Me’. Channelling influences from Kanye to Drake to Skepta ‘Dance For Me’ is a global-looking rap/trap banger that dropped on the 28th of May alongside a mini movie-like music video. The track was produced by German producer OUHBOY (with additional production at the end by Matt Grifasi) who has previously worked with Casscade on his track ‘Finesse‘.

The track starts with an atmospheric piano and acoustic guitar intro which sets the scene for the story of infatuation, lust, and obsession. The Latin-inspired instrumentation gives gangster movie feels, which blends nicely with the crispy beat and clever wordplay. Like much of Casscade’s work, there’s a melodic approach to his bars and a memorable chorus hook, nailing down its radio-friendly vibe.

Explaining the story of the track Casscade explains,

“The track is about a sinful lust I have for this woman that’s ‘Danced’ for me but I can’t get her infectious vibe out of my system. ‘We spoke in tongues’ as I mention in the hook is just a metaphor for a kiss we shared, but after that she left me in the dark. It’s an unfinished business vibe”.

The release also comes equipped with a music video shot in lush locations across the south (these include a manor house, theatre, and forest). Depicting a dark yet beautiful narrative, these locations add to the grandiose feel of the music video. Not your run-of-the-mill music video, Casscade says,

“I wanted to showcase art styles that you don’t see rap artists portray every day. The video has a storyline. Beautiful but dark at the same time”.

‘Dance For Me’ represents an artist truly in his artistic groove, Casscade explains,

“I’m at this point in my career where I want to manifest the artistry in my mind and the variety of things I like. I’m a music nerd. I’ll YouTube search like piano versions of tracks I really like so it was only right I had my own”.

‘Dance For Me’ follows Casscade’s previous singles ‘Crazy Scenes’ which was premiered by DJ Semtex on Capital Xtra and was also championed by GRM Daily’s ‘Under The Radar’ feature, Linkup TV, Mixtape Madness, GUAP, and Dummy. The track saw Casscade collab with prolific American producer Saint Cardona (Young M.A, Fivio Foreign, and Mariah Angelica).

Other highlights tracks include ‘Hurry Up & Buy’ which features the Gold-selling German artist Joshi Mizu. This was added to various official Spotify and Amazon Music playlists with further media support coming from Backspin Mag, SBTV, and Noctis Mag. Other tastemaker support for Casscade has come from 4x GRAMMY® winning producer Anthony Kilhoffer, who played ‘Finesse’ on his Instagram live with DJ Semtex, which led to ‘Finesse’ being featured on Semtex’s ‘5 Tracks You Need To Know’ show on Capital Xtra.
