Bedroom rapper : Cadence Weapon on hip-hop, resistance and surviving the music industry
(Adult Book)

Includes bibliographical references and discography.

Tracing his roots from recording beats in his mom's attic in Edmonton to performing with some of the most recognizable names in rap and electronic music, Rollie Pemberton, a.k.a Cadence Weapon, captures the joy in finding yourself, and how a sense of place and purpose entwines inextricably with a music scene. Pemberton also offers us a wide-ranging and crucial history of hip-hop. With an international perspective, he integrates the gestation of American hip hop with UK grime and niche scenes from the Canadian prairies, bringing his obsessive knowledge of hip-hop to bear on his subject.
