Cadence Weapon’s new album is amazing. Cadence Weapon is amazing. Afterparty babies are amazing. The newest release from Cadence “Fucking” Weapon is so ridiculously different from his debut album “Breaking Kayfabe”, the only recognizable part is his voice. It seems as though Cadence Weapon has really broken through with a new idea for this record. There is a distinguishable difference in his last album which had a very minimalistic yet interesting vibe to it. This album has a more electronic/house music vibe to it, it even has a track on it called “House Music.” I’ll just briefly talk about my three favorite tracks.
Coming in at number 3 is track number 3 “True Story.” This track starts out with a little bit of spoken word, and then bursts into Cadence rapping about rumors. His loud, dramatic, annunciated voice really makes this track exciting.
Number 2 is the opening track of this album entitled, “Do I Miss My Friends?” This song has a ridiculous beat. It starts out with a loop of him singing “Mmm Bup.” Next comes in a little loop of him singing about him missing his friends. He proceeds to rap over his own acapella beat.He continues to sing the chorus sort of out of tune, but it’s alright because it’s damn catchy.

My favorite track on Cadence Weapon’s new album “Afterparty Babies” is called “Getting Dumb.” I guess I love this track so much for two reasons. The first being that the beat is sick. It starts out with this really heavy drum pattern, with a dirty sounding synth layered on top of it. But the main reason I guess I love this track, is because it reminds me of a better version of Lupe Fiasco’s “Dumb It Down.” I feel the lyrics in Lupe’s track are far superior, but Cadence Weapon just brings this vibe to the track that a ringtone beat doesn’t bring to a song. Even though Lupe used such a shitty beat to protest average, radio rap music, the beat still sucks. Lupe is still my favorite hip-hop artist, but I think Cadence Weapon does a better job of presenting his protest then Mr. Fiasco does.
