CasisDEAD began his musical journey in 2005 under the moniker Castro Saint, penning and producing tracks such as “Adolescence,” “C from T,” and “Drugs.” These early works were deeply influenced by his experiences in Tottenham and his immersion into a narcotic-centered lifestyle. During this period, he was active within the grime community, both as a member of the group Proppa Production and as a frequent guest in projects by the grime crew In Da Hood. After a five-year hiatus from 2007, he re-emerged in 2012 as CasisDEAD, adopting a masked persona that has since become central to his identity, citing creative passions, personal struggles, and a desire for anonymity as his motivations.
Upon his return, CasisDEAD released the mixtape “The Number 23” in December 2013, a collection featuring singles from 2012 and 2013, including tracks like “T.R.O.N.” and “Leon Best.” This mixtape showcased a diverse range of musical styles, from grime and drum & bass to electro, jazz, and soul. He continued to release notable works such as the “Commercial 2” EP in 2015, sold initially on cassette, and singles like “Simon” and “Before This” in 2016. His collaborative efforts expanded, featuring on Giggs’ album “Landlord” in 2016 and with Tricky’s EP “Obia” the same year. He is also recognized for directing many of his own music videos, including “Cheese Slice,” “All Hallows,” and “Matte Grey Wrap,” considering himself equally a music video director and a rapper.
CasisDEAD’s career saw a significant milestone with the release of his debut studio album, “Famous Last Words,” on October 27, 2023, through XL Recordings. The album was celebrated for its vivid storytelling, cinematic rap, and the fusion of ’80s synth-pop influences with poignant lyricism. It achieved commercial success, reaching number 7 on the official UK Albums Chart and securing the number 1 spot on the official UK Hip Hop & R&B Albums Chart. His contributions to UK music were further acknowledged in 2024 when he won the Brit Award for Best Hip Hop/Rap/Grime Act, cementing his status as a distinguished artist in the genre.
