Cadence Weapon has played the Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and Roskilde festivals and toured the world in support of his Afterparty Babies sophomore album over the past year. The man born Rollie Pemberton isn't slowing down, however, and will embark on his first headlining Canadian tour in the fall.
Cadence Weapon recently recorded a mixtape that will be available exclusively at the shows. He also collaborated on a track with A-Trak (who happens to be Chromeo guitarist David Macklovitch's brother) called "Roll With The Winners," and recently remixed a single by Roots Manuva. He's also collaborated on tracks with Freq Nasty, Simian Mobile Disco and Drop The Lime this summer.
The Edmonton rapper is awaiting the launch of the video for "Real Estate," which should hit television and computer screens in the next few weeks.
