Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan (via Chart Attack), who reported that Edmonton’s Cadence Weapon, the man behind of one of my favorite hip-hop albums of last year, has signed to Epitaph.
Consider what Epitaph, a label rooted in punk, is doing here. The label roster now includes Cadence Weapon, Busdriver, DangerDoom, the Coup and Sage Francis. That’s an impressive group of underground hip-hop artists.
As for Cadence Weapon (born Rollie Pemberton), his stellar LP, Breaking Kayfabe, will see a U.S. release on March 13. Catch up with what I wrote about Cadence here.
And be sure to pour some out for the dearly departed Razorblade Runner, Pemberton’s one-time corner in the world of mp3 blogs.
If you can’t wait for March 13, eMusic has been hawking Breaking Kayfabe for the past year now.
One thought on “Cadence Weapon invading U.S.”
