Album Description
Cadence Weapon’s explosive debut, Breaking Kayfabe 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, the Muchmusic Video Awards
and the Plug Independent Music Awards, and won Canadian Indie Music
Award and CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards. 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.
Pemberton is back and he is firmly establishing his legacy as a
pioneer in a passionate crusade to push the rap and electronic music
envelope. His new offering, a 14 track, 58 minute dance rap party epic
is dedicated to ‘all the accidents out there’ as a testimony to Rollie
Pemberton’s first influence, his father, Teddy Pemberton. A native of
Brooklyn, NY, Mr. Pemberton created The Black Sound Experience radio
show on the University of Alberta's CSJR station in 1980, and is
credited for introducing hip-hop to Rollie’s hometown of Edmonton, the
capital city of Alberta.
Following in his father's ground-breaking footsteps, Rollie
discovered that he wanted to rap at the tender age of 13. His mother
had other plans; she wanted him to pursue a career in journalism, so he
attended journalism school in Virginia. Finding the insular environment
stifling, the burgeoning rapper quickly decided to ditch the books in
pursuit of his goal, and still, by 18, Rollie had established a name
for himself as a tough music critic, writing for the Brooklyn-based
Stylus webzine and the influential Pitchfork Media.
Afterparty Babies explores friends and feelings, crews and club
nights, hometowns and heroes, media and fashion. The recognized
wordsmith continues to push the theme, surrounded by socially conscious
commentary, and personal subject matter while dropping it over
punishing electronic dance jams.
