I couldn’t be more stoked when I got the opportunity to hear the new album from Cadence Weapon called Hope In Dirty City. The incredible album from 25-year-old Canadian hip-hop artist is a dreamy mix beats that derive from all different genres, sick lyrics and vocals and infectious energy. For a hip-hop record Cadence Weapon’s track “Conditioning” absolutely rocks. Other favorites include “No More Names (Aditi)” and “Cheval”. Check out some of my favorite tracks from the album below and the Grimes remix of “Conditioning”. You can download the remix by right-clicking and saving this link. Make sure you check out his US tour starting in Seattle, WA in June 11th, hitting up Philly on the 29th, and ending in Minneapolis on August 3rd. Pick up your copy of Hope In Dirt City on May 29th!
