Kenneth Chundie Adam ( born on 5th March 2002 ) is a rapper, singer and songwriter in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia—better known by his stage name, Casey Awesome, formerly stylized as Ca$ey Awe$ome.
He has many other nicknames, monikers, aliases, personas and alter-egos other than Casey Awesome ( Yung Pi$ce$, Lu$ifer, Juda$, Lil Hyde, Jo$eph, Mr. Lonely, Romeo Da Heartbreaker and Lil Cupid ) and he performs alongside his friends Dope Sick Boy ( formerly stylized as LiL FAD ), Bolhan Nadir ( formerly stylized as Nadir Tiger ) and Fadzril Fattah as the hip-hop underground rap group, GHO$TBOY$.
Before the formation of the rap collective, GHO$TBOY$, with his friends Dope Sick Boy ( formerly stylized as LiL FAD ), Bolhan Nadir ( formerly stylized as Nadir Tiger ) and Fadzril Fattah, Casey’s interest, passion and love for hip-hop all started at the age of 5 when he listened to the radio to 2Pac – California Love for the first time ever. And as the time goes by and the years has passed through, Casey at the age of 16, listened for the first time to both XXXTENTACION – Vice City and Lil Peep – The Way I See Things on SoundCloud, thus feeling inspired and motivated that he started writing and rapping with the help of his cousin Nathaniel Bangga, known as Lil.$tructo and KyloNath. They’ve started recording, mixing and even mastering their raps by using BandLab and even publish their first two raps on SoundCloud titled “ Error404 ” with their friend Shaun Queenton, known as $ Trick, and “ GRINGO ” with their friend Mark Ryan, known as Lil Mazey.
Unfortunately, Casey and his cousin, Nathaniel Bangga, have part ways; both musically and in reality, due to friendship problems and trust issues on 3rd March 2019, but as of 18th August 2019, both parties have reached a truce in each other and has become friends again.
Casey’s artistic influences was inspired from artist from all genre as he had grown up through it all, starting from Classics such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinantra, Paul Anka, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston & Pop such as Justin Bieber, One Direction, Arianna Grande, Bruno Mars, Coldplay and Adele, to Hip-Hop like 2Pac, Eminem, Lil Wayne, N.W.A, Snoop Dogg and Wu-Tang Clan & Rock like Nirvana, Queen, The Beatles, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park and Green Day and etc.
Casey’s lyrics consists about drug addictions, suicidal acts and thoughts, failed relationships, mental illness ( depression and anxiety ) and hatred amongst Christianity but it doesn’t mean that he’s an Atheist or an Anti-Christ, it just means that God’s path, plan and way for Casey doesn’t seem to go as well as imagined or expected.
GHO$TBOY$ are a hip-hop underground rap group from Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia that was formed on 22nd June 2020, consisting of four members and was founded by group founder and leader, Mohd Fadzirull aka Dope Sick Boy ( formerly stylized as LiL FAD ), and group co-founder, Kenneth Adam aka Casey Awesome ( formerly stylized as Ca$ey Awe$ome ), and was later joined by Mohammad Nadir aka Bolhan Nadir ( formerly stylized as Nadir Tiger ) and Fadzril Fattah.
The boys' discography ranges with various style mixtures of Hip-Hop/Rap from Lo-Fi, Trap and Alternative R&B to Gangsta Rap, Emo Rap and Punk—with lyrics mixture of English and Bahasa Melayu/Bahasa Sarawak, working with a blend of heavily-abrasive booming bass, gloomy-ominous atmospherics and drugged-out rhymes with their harsh lyrical content and themes prominently featuring substance abuse and suicidal ideation.
The meaning behind the rap collective, GHO$TBOY$, is about being dead inside that’s reflecting their mental illness, drug addictions, failed relationships, suicidal thoughts and etc. It eventually took on a different meaning as they started referring to themselves as a group of outcasted misfits who suffered from depression and anxiety caused from being abused ( mentally, physically and emotionally ), being bullied and even being misunderstood. Despite the judgements and criticism of others, they’ll still rise and strive to reach to the top of the rap game, making a name for themselves and placing Kuching on the map in the hip-hop scene and the music industry.
