"4cat and 7 leers ago" Album Cover.
Status: Partially Found
4cat was a Newgrounds user and musician that was active from 2011-2017 before his account was deleted sometime in 2019. He is most notable for producing songs that openly mocked the Newgrounds Audio Portal mod, "BrokenDeck", for supposedly commenting that he considered 4cat's music as "spam" - a term commonly used on the site to describe someone's submitted song as either "trash" or "bad". This supposed "grudge" with BrokenDeck, as well as Newgrounds as a whole, became the inspiration for his songs "All I Do Is Spam (BrokenDiss)", "4cat Is The Best (BrokenDeck Perspective)", "The Conspiracy", "Newgrounds Is Awesome" and "SPAM FOR 4CAT SPAM".

4cat and 7 leers ago
On October 2, 2016, 4cat uploaded a "name your own price" EP titled 4cat and 7 leers ago to his personal Bandcamp page. The album featured six different tracks, some of which were collaborations with other artists and friends of his from Newgrounds (e.g. the track "Hoverhand" features fellow Newgrounds musician and long-time musical collaborator of 4cat's, "Chris Is Lame").
Both the album and 4cat's Newgrounds account would be taken down in 2019, effectively rendering most music that wasn't fully archived (including most of the EP itself) lost to the public. To this day, it is still debated whether or not if 4cat was either simply banned from Newgrounds and subsequently decided to erase all traces of his music from Bandcamp or if he simply took down the pages himself in light of new, more professional career opportunities. A tweet from Veteran Newgrounds Art/Animator "Luis Castanon" most likely confirming that 4cat found better career opportunities. Retrieved 4 May '23</ref>
On June 9th, 2002, Internet Archive user "ArabombGoesBoom" uploaded a large majority of 4cat's songs (including two of the six tracks featured within the EP) to the site. [2]
