Cadence Weapon has released a new single, ‘My Computer’, which features production from American electronic producer Machinedrum. It comes paired with a video directed by Colin Medley, Jared Raab, and Jason Harvey. Check it out below.
“I wanted to rap about tech companies and the physical impact they have on cities,” Weapon explained in a statement. “One example is the ill-fated Sidewalk Labs project where Google attempted to build a neighborhood of the future in Toronto where garbage collection was automated and the taxis drove themselves. While that project failed, I find cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and London are basically already there. These tech-utopias have one thing in common: working people are typically made expendable and pushed to the margins.”
‘My Computer’ is the latest cut from Weapon’s forthcoming album, ROLLERCOASTER, following ‘Exceptional’ and ‘Press Eject’. It arrives April 19 via MNRK Music. Jacques Greene, Grandtheft, Bartees Strange, Cecile Believe, Martyn Bootyspoon, Loraine James, and more also contributed to the project.
