“My computer / My solution / Easy access / For the user / Space invader / Tech producer / Screen save / Big consumer / My computer”
Rollercoaster focuses on the “capitalist junkyard” we know as the internet. Production intends to mimic the internet’s cacophonous overload — modern people can relate — under Cadence Weapon’s socio-political, lyrical, poppy rap. Click to have a listen, below.
Rollercoaster was recorded, engineered, and mixed by Calvin Hartwick at Dream House Studios, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and mastered by Nik Kozub at Zonik Studios, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Buy the album from Bandcamp, and listen at your platform of choice.
