Cody Foster, better known by his stage name Sadistik, is an American alternative hip hop artist from Seattle, Washington. He is currently signed to Equal Vision Records.

Musical career

In 2008, he released his debut album The Balancing Act on Clockwork Grey Music.

In 2013, he released his sophomore LP Flowers for My Father on Fake Four Inc, which received positive reviews.[2][3][4][5][6] Vibe Magazine called the album "gripping & emotional".[7] The album appeared on the top 15 hip-hop/rap charts on iTunes.

On July 1, 2014, he released his third LP Ultraviolet.

On April 14, 2017, he released his fourth LP Altars.

Style

Sadistik has been described as "showing his scars with each song he writes"[8] and "the cigarette burn rap king".[9] Sadistik has been closely associated with the late hip hop artist Eyedea[10] and has been known for "a unique style of hip hop, one that features dark imagery, dense wordplay, and nontraditional production styles."[11]

In a Bandcamp review of Ultraviolet, they said: "Ultraviolet peels back the layers behind Foster’s synesthesia (seeing sound as color or otherwise mixing of the senses) and reveals the colorful terrain just out of reach in the daytime when “the skies cry 365”."[12]

Education

Sadistik went to Eisenhower High School in Yakima, Washington and received a B.A. in both Psychology and Sociology at Central Washington University.[13]

Film

Sadistik's single, "Still Awake" will be featured in the upcoming short film, The Long Awake, produced by Waverley Knobs Entertainment and starring Evin Charles Anderson
