A rap music video directed by the late Heath Ledger has been released online, according to NME.com.

The video is for the song, “Cause An Effect” and was made by Ledger is childhood friend, rapper N’Fa (short for No Fixed Abode).

“Every day I count my blessings that he directed this piece of art,” N’Fa said. “It was a song I was proud to have written but I never expected to have such an immense video made for it. I’d known Heath since we were very young and he was always a creative kind of guy and, in many ways, ahead of the curve. When he had the idea about doing this video I had no question about it.”

N’Fa was a member of the award-winning Australian hip-hop group 1200 Techniques before pursuing a solo career.

Ledger died on Jan. 22, 2008 in his New York apartment. His untimely death shocked the world and put his home country of Australia into mourning. Despite his death, “The Dark Knight” was released with Ledger as the chilling Joker. Ledger’s performance in “The Dark Knight” earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Ledger has also directed music videos for Modest Mouse and the late Nick Drake. Ledger was reported as saying that he was once obsessed with the English-born singer/songwriter’s music and life, according to MTV News.

Ledger shot and edited a video for Drake’s song called “Black Eyed Dog.” The title was apparently chosen because of a Winston Churchill quote describing depression. The song  was also reportedly the last song that Drake recorded before overdosing on anti-depression medication in 1974 at the age of only 26.

Ledger also shot Australian singer Grace Woodroofe’s video for her cover of David Bowie’s “Quicksand,” and the video for Ben Harper’s “Morning Yearning.”
