Summary:
Tracing his roots from producing beats in his mom's attic in Edmonton to performing with some of the most recognizable names in rap and electronic music, Rollie Pemberton, a.k.a. Cadence Weapon, encapsulates both the joy in finding yourself, and how a sense of place and purpose entwines inextricably with a music scene. From competitive basement family karaoke to touring Europe, from fights with an exploitative label to finding his creative voice, from protesting against gentrification to using his music to centre political change, Rollie charts his own development alongside a shifting musical landscape.
