Super fly Canadian hip-hop. He will be at SXSW. myspace.com/cadenceweaponmusic

The current Canadian Hip Hop scene seems to have a particular love for 1990, and really, I can't blame 'em. 1990 was a bright, colourful and fun year, just before the brooding Seattle grunge scene took over. Two particular Canadian rappers have embraced 1990 and spun it with their own fresh style. The Old Prince (2007) Shad has fully embraced 1990 with his recent video The Old Prince Still Lives at Home . The video is is a full re-enactment of the opening sequence to [...]

(photo courtesy of Ren Bostelaar) So I checked out the Cadence Weapon show in Toronto last Thursday, and have to say that I'm now a fan. I hadn't anything by him, but he came recommended by the Persian Prince himself so for $12 at Lee's Palace, how could I go wrong? I couldn't, and part of the reason was because he reminds me of Tracy Morgan . While the video for Real Estate is pretty good (thanks to The Tape for the find), the track is actually begging to [...]

Cadence Weapon releases a socially, economically and politically charged new video for his song Real Estate , from his latest album Afterparty Babies ...all with girls in bikinis and dudes in banana hammocks. Rollie says, " Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain will be fighting over this song all Autumn for use as their bailout themes. This is the 700 billion dollar song. Oddly enough, that was the exact budget to make this video too ". [...]

If you haven't had the chance to catch Cadence Weapon live, now's your chance. On Thursday at Lee's Palace, Rollie Pemberton himself launches his Canadian wide tour in support of his latest effort, "After Party Babies". I saw CW about 5 years ago was he was only about 18, and dude blew me away. A far cry from the over saturated market of less than enthusiastic live rappers I've been seeing lately. Check out his first single, 'Real Estate' below. This is one of my favourite videos of 2008. A nice [...]
Cadence Weapon is about to hit the road for a Canadian tour, which doesn't help me very much. However, it means his '08 gem, Afterparty Babies , is getting a second push. Here's a new video for the song Real Estate , with Cadence in suit and tie as a real estate agent and DJ Weez-l dressed up as, well, DJ Weez-l. Also, for anyone going to the shows in Canada, Cadence is offering a mixtape on the tour called Separation Anxiety . So who out there in Canada wants to [...]
