    Breaking Kayfabe is a record that demands and deserves undivided attention, its creator fashioning a brain-searing patchwork of ragged rap, electronic flourishes and truncated rhythms.

    Pemberton’s crafted a uniquely engaging sonic statement that stands on its own legs.
  3. Pitchfork
    80
    Raised in a library of music and having already dissected his influences, Rollie takes confident first steps as Cadence Weapon.
  4. Q Magazine

    This superior debut from Alberta rapper Roland Pemberton cuts adroitly from Oliver Square's booty shaking electro to the spare funk of Black Hand. [Oct 2007, p.101]
