TLDR: Toronto rapper Cadence Weapon has released a deluxe edition of his album ROLLERCOASTER, featuring five new tracks, including a Joe Goddard remix of “My Computer.” The ROLLERCOASTER (Deluxe) expands on the original with more diverse sounds, from tropical vibes to hard-hitting trap.
Earlier this year, Toronto-based rapper Cadence Weapon (aka Rollie Pemberton) released his “boundary shattering” (All Music) album ROLLERCOASTER, and today the album’s deluxe edition comes out via MNRK Music. With five new tracks, including a Joe Goddard remix of “My Computer,” ROLLERCOASTER (Deluxe) expands upon the original album’s “fluent rhymes and insights” (Billboard Canada) from “one of rap’s most naturally gifted emcees” (FLOOD).
“These songs further expand upon my exploration of various elements of technology,” Pemberton explains on the new ROLLERCOASTER additions. “I worked on ‘Surreal’ with Raf and Joe from The 2 Bears at Hot Chip’s studio in Shoreditch. It was the first song that pointed towards following a larger concept for my album and I’m stoked for people to finally hear it. Joe [Goddard] also contributed a heavy remix of ‘My Computer.’ The other songs show different sides of me that aren’t really present on the original album. ‘Scam Likely’ is unlike anything I’ve ever made before. Tropical vibes. ‘Clickbait’ is some of the hardest trap music I’ve ever done. I hope these songs add more depth to the project for everyone who listens.”
In addition, Pemberton is thrilled to begin his new residency, The Entertainer with Cadence Weapon, taking place over four weeks in October at Standard Time in Toronto. Presented by SiriusXM Canada, The Entertainer with Cadence Weapon will feature a lineup of prolific entertainers in the contemporary music industry specifically curated by Pemberton along with conversations and live performances from Debby Friday, Jacques Greene, Owen Pallett, and Lido Pimienta. Then Cadence Weapon will close the night out DJing with special guest DJ performances by Brendan Canning, Jacques Greene, Jeremy Greenspan, and Automaticamore. As Pemberton puts it, “It’s always entertaining when you’re hanging out with entertainers.”
