Cadence Weapon has announced Forager, his next studio album, due out April 24. The project follows his 2021 Polaris Prize–winning Parallel World and marks a shift toward a more restrained, materially focused approach.
Produced entirely by Junia-T, Forager draws on craft, in the artisinal sense of the way, as a way of reconnecting with hip-hop’s foundational aesthetics. Early tracks include “Step Out,” featuring DijahSB, and “Toronto Zoo,” which Cadence Weapon has previously performed live in Toronto.

The newly released single “Alpenflage” continues that thread, framing style and construction as cultural signals rather than trends. A reference to a style of camo print, also known as 'pizza camo', the song explores the theme of durability. "True vintage is made from natural materials and was made with a higher standard of craftsmanship. It was built to last. This made me think of the classic hip-hop that I grew up listening to", shares Cadence Weapon, born Rollie Pemberton, in a press release.
In support of the album, Cadence Weapon will tour in April with a series of free events in Hamilton, Toronto, Montréal, and Edmonton.
Forager is set to be released in April, on Six Shooter Records.
