Introduction:
For over 10 years, the SoundCloud producer and artist known as Greaf has been a highly influential figure in the Underground Rap Scene. He has produced for prominent artists such as Lil Peep, Lil B, XXXTENTACION, Corbin, Sickboyrari AKA Black Kray, and notably, BONES. BONES, recognized for his prolific output on SoundCloud, has played a significant role in Greaf's career. Greaf, known for his mysterious online presence, has a history dating back to late 2009 when he produced for Ricky Hil, Tommy Hilfiger's rapping son. Initially known as "Bobby Music" or "Bobby Beats," Greaf transitioned to the name "Greaf" in 2013, deleting much of his earlier work. His collaboration with BONES in 2013 marked the beginning of his prominence within the TeamSESH community, and he became a primary producer for BONES' tapes in 2014.
Greaf's music is characterized by its dark and gloomy atmosphere, often utilizing sampled pieces with guitar or synth elements and singing vocals. The complexity of his sample usage and the inclusion of dialogue from TV shows or monologues add depth to his sound.
The Inhuman Nature of Deleting the Past:
Greaf has a habit of deleting old music and making it challenging to access certain tracks. Recovery efforts by dedicated fans and Russians from the TeamSESH VK have restored many of Greaf's tapes and archives. However, the process involves intricate archival methods, such as exploiting vulnerabilities, tracking IDs, and obscure websites. Notably, the 2013 Livestream called "Live Creations" was archived by devoted fans who participated in Greaf's Tinychat sessions.
The Lost Media Part:
The focus shifts to a particular tape that has been missing for almost nine years— "Hella Caskets" Despite its unconventional name, its existence is confirmed by reliable sources, including a tweet listing all of Greaf's tapes. The tape has eluded discovery, prompting renewed efforts within the Greaf community.
Greaf Memorial and Cover Art:
The challenge in finding "Hella Caskets" lies in obtaining its cover art. Potential methods include guessing the Mediafire ID or reaching out to creators of specific Greaf fan pages. A missing cover art discovered in a GIF on a site has sparked intrigue. However, complications arise in verifying its connection to "Hella Caskets," given Greaf's history of using stolen cover art from online sources.
The Problem:
Three potential scenarios regarding the alleged art for "Hella Caskets" are considered: it could be the tape's cover art, associated with another mix titled "Figure It Out, I Did," or linked to a tape named "Arden" with Fifty Grand. The uncertainty surrounding the art complicates the search.
The Proof of its existence:
There are very few sources who may have caught a glimpse of the tape which was a certain Twitter user, other than that the guy who ran the greaf memorial and greaf fan club are the only few people on earth outside of TeamSESH who could have possessed or owned the tape. The only few sites related to the tape include these:

web.archive.org/web/20141230214459/http://greafclub.com/

At the moment of the release, I am trying to dig into who would have run this which in reality is a higher probability that we find them than the tape. The alleged cover art comes from this part of the site greafclubdotcom.wordpress.com/about/. Actually, an update as this is being written over multiple days, I actually thought Cat Soup had it but I didn't, then I did again, and now finally it's a 50/50 chance he has the tape as someone was posting about it on Twitter about an unreleased Greaf tape.
Ways you can find it:
You can start by digging into Twitter
Ending:
The likelihood of finding "Hella Caskets" is low, and the post may not garner enough attention for substantial impact. Importantly, those attempting to find it are advised not to contact Greaf or any TeamSESH member, respecting Greaf's desire for privacy. Some details are omitted to streamline the narrative.
If this gets attention:
I really do not find the need to write what to do unless this gets attention, If people start giving it the attention it needs I will post more in the comments.
