Canadian alternative hip-hop artist Cadence Weapon has been one of the undeniable rising stars of the hip-hop world ever since he released Breaking Kayfabe back in 2006, and his skills were even recognized by the governmentof Edmonton, Alberta, Canada when they made him the poet laureate for two years. His official ambassadorship is finally over and Cadence's next album, Hope in Dirt City, is out 5/29. He's also released a new music video for album single, "Conditioning," and his flow and production just blew our minds.
