Rollie Pemberton, a.k.a. Cadence Weapon returns to discuss his new album Forager and his new book of socio-cultural criticism essays, Ways of Listening: Building a Deeper Relationship with Music in the Streaming Era, the parallels between his writing on his album and his book, his renewed interest in crate digging for records and thrifting for great clothes, resisting passive cultural consumption during the age of the algorithm, the Juno Awards, Drake, and Canada’s confidence conundrum, being both the “Black Ian Curtis” and the “Black Bryan Ferry,” working with producer Junia-T and live musicians to rediscover his love of hip-hop and rapping, special Forager market events, other future plans, and much more.
