Sleepdealer is a Tokyo-based instrumental hip-hop producer from Santa Barbara, California. Gaining attention during the golden era of SoundCloud, Sleepdealer's 2016 and 2017 beat tapes garnered significant attention and traction as music began to migrate over to new streaming platforms. Sleepdealer's 2016 album, Yerba, for example, has over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, with standout track "Rolling Papers" continuing to stream over 300k a week. Despite many collaborative singles and standalone tracks over the years, Sleepdealer hasn't released a proper album since 2020. That all changes in 2024. Straying from sample flips and focusing on original compositions, Sleepdealer is now ready to share the new chapter of his musical saga. Continuing with dreamy melodies and late night beats, synth-heavy jams and cosmic soundscapes, his lush and eclectic style of lofi music will leave you in a hypnotized state. New single "Erased" is yet another melancholic and downtempo instrumental beat, one that's good for stargazing, a late night study session, or a morning cruise to wherever it is you may need to be. This chilled track brings us one release closer to Sleepdealer's first full length album in four years, out later this year.
