Cadence Weapon’s new album “AFTERPARTY BABIES” is now available for purchase digitally, on CD and on 2-LP in North America and Europe. “Outrageously original and unconcerned with meeting any terms but its own, Afterparty Babies deserves to go down as one of the most important additions yet to Canada’s neglected hip hop canon” – Toronto Star “Blending ebullient verbosity with the brightest selection of electronic beats you’ll hear this side of a Santogold ringtone selection… Impeccable” – Observer Music Monthly “Afterparty Babies is, just so, so, so good. It’s raising the bar on modern rap music in a way that this reviewer thinks is completely unique” – Drowned In Sound JUST ANNOUNCED: CANADIAN TOUR WITH BUCK 65!
