LATER X CASISDEAD - "Before This" (Official Video)

Noisey is proud to present the video for "Before This" from LATER and CASISDEAD.
The track itself is a bit of a departure for Cas, as it trades the dark instrumentals he's known for occupying with cool, smoother electronic synths that add a whole other element to his sound. Backed up by LATER's soundscapes - who are a collaboration between London-based producer Drive Me Home and Norwegian singer/songwriter Linn - it's a track that deserves to be one of summer 16's wonkiest bangers.

I’m not big on hip hop, but the 80’s feel of the instrumental, the heartfelt singing from later and the smooth vocals from cas all make for a banger

[@ricochetpig]

If you like the 80s style listen to commercial 2

Has to be a tribute to Prince just recently passing away, even references him in the last bar. Cas is the only guy that could jump on a tune with this sort of vibe!

[@ruralliving3024]

Whose here in 2023? Listening to Cas takes me back to the beginnings of my decade long relationship. When I was pregnant on my baby in 2017 this had just come out and this was the banger I had playing consistently. Baby boy is 5 now and still throws a shape at this song. As does his Mum!

Noisey clearly aint been listening to CAS for long if they think this is a departure for him. This would've fitted in perfectly on Commercial 2.

[@Ghrif]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@dalaf409]

It’s the intro for me..swag 4 dayz 🔥

Cas has been going with this 90's vibes recently, he does it well, nice to see a grimey artist doing other genres without sounding out of their depths

80'S

this IS the slowed version. Look at her singing/dancing in slow-mo but its still on time with the audio. I think the original idea was a faster song

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

SpeedFreak Yeah bro, i hate it when certain artists just sit on music for ages without releasing it when it's long overdue lol.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

SpeedFreak Yeah i see what your saying ,but now that his fanbase has increased a lot he should release some more bangers from the trailer that he previewed.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

SpeedFreak Yeah, maybe one day they'll come out. But hey i can't complain, atleast he's still around. I'm sure he's cooking up plenty more fire.

listen to his tape "commercial 2" it's the closest your gonna get, completely different to his usual stuff. he released it on tape and sold them on his site in a limited number. but you can find it on soundcloud and KZbin

[@myatairz]

+Tyler Nolan commercial 2 is actually alot closer to this song than anything else. if you want more cas in a song any of his old castro tracks are sick. proper p, chemist, rock right now. grime historian has alot of that's stuff. but I'd say check out his tracks with in da hood, got that fire and murder music are fire tracks. but line ova line with manny d might be one of my Percy Ingles
