Description

The always-grinding Cadence Weapon continues to firmly establish his legacy as a pioneer in a passionate crusade to push the rap and electronic music envelope. At 24 years old, Roland Pemberton is internationally recognized as an innovative and accomplished writer, producer, rapper, touring artist and Edmonton, Albertas Poet Laureate.In the course from his debut album Breaking Kayfabe to his sophomore record Afterparty Babies, Roland Pemberton came of age. While most youths were struggling to focus on a sneaker brand for more than a week, the young (and underage) Pemberton would slip into clubs to play shows with Spank Rock, Lady Sovereign, Jurassic 5, TTC, New Pornographers, Final Fantasy, and De La Soul. He rocked guest performances with The Klaxons, Hot Chip and Islands; he remixed Lady Sovereign, Kid Sister, Disco D, Busdriver, Rick Ross/Simian Mobile Disco; hes been featured on tracks with Buck 65, Anti MC, A-Trak, Shout Out Out Out Out and Shuttle. He inked deals with legendary labels, Epitaph USA and Big Dada for the UK and Europe; all before he was barely legal.Pembertons explosive debut was an impossibly accomplished hip-hop album stacked with clever writing and impressive rhymes, paired with the electro-tones of UK grime and West Coast hip-hop. The album yielded instant praise and notoriety, culminating in nominations from the Polaris Music Prize (modeled after the Mercury Prize), the Canadian Indie Awards and Best Rap Album of 2006 at the Plug Independent Music Awards, and won the CBC Radio 3s Bucky Award. Cadence Weapon and Breaking Kayfabe garnered fans from Pitchforkmedia.com, Urb Magazine, XLR8R, CMJ, Q Magazine, Uncut, Drowned In Sound to name only a few.
