CMW in Review: Cadence Weapon (03/10/11)
So here it is — the first of a series of posts about Canadian Music Week 2011. One of the first sets I caught during the 5 day festival was Cadence Weapon at The Opera House on March 10. I have heard a lot of buzz about Cadence Weapon, but I never got around to checking out his work. Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Cadence Weapon has been busy thede past couple of years keeping up with his duties as Edmonton’s poet laureate and working on the mix-tape for Tron Legacy (2010). Well-versed in the art of hip hop, Cadence Weapon debuted a couple of new songs as well as performing a set of old favourites to the crowd. I spent a majority of the night watching the show from the balcony just because I spent the whole day in the office working and I didn’t feel like standing in a crowd. Anyhow, his set was tight and it was definitely a good starting point for my coverage of CMW.
