I may be looking at workman's comp for the first time in my life. Bad injury last night. It's a shin injury. Sigh...I remember from eighth grade that those things last forever.
Cadence Weapon – Loft Party
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4cyE2CMmhE
While most of my favorite rap (and all that I've posted thus far this week) is from the dirty south, Cadence Weapon is from Montreal via Edmonton. I first heard about him because he posted on a music message board I used to read. I think he's pretty great. His beats are pretty wild, and he writes interesting lyrics.And in 2009 he was named Edmonton's poet laureate. Pretty cool.
He also puts on a hell of a live show. I saw him in October, and I'm considering driving to Winnipeg again next weekend to see him again. This was the last song he played when we saw him, and it was hype as hell.

FMD: Jan 18, 2013
So I've listened to a bunch of things folks here and elsewhere mentioned on their various "Best of 2012" lists and such. Somehow, my favorite new discovery is a single from 2007 reworking a single for 11 years prior:
