As an MC, producer, DJ and devout crate digger Cadence has been involved hip hop in one way or another since the mid 80`s when he was growing up in Cambridge MA. He started getting serious about making music in the early 90`s, but it was the 1995 release of the "Cycles" 12inch by Raw Produce (Cadence and Pitch) that brought him to the attention of most listeners.
At the time, what many listeners didn`t know was that Raw Produce had already gotten their feet wet in the game by making beats for the legendary Tommy Boy label, but after shopping for (and nearly landing) a major label deal, they had grown disillusioned with the music industry an set their sites on making independent hip hop. Their timing couldn`t have been better, as "Cycles"
was released on the early edge of what would become the independent hip hop boom of the mid-late 90`s. The single touched off a string of sought after releases for the group, helping to establish them a reliable source for intelligent, well produced hip hop.
Cadence continued those traditions with the release of his first solo album "Cadence Poisons the Minds of the Children" in 2003 and followed in 2004 with the release of the long-delayed Raw Produce debut full-length the Feeling of now. Later that year, his producer album "State Lines" showcased his beatmaking skills, alongside more than 20 MCs. Now, in 2006, he returns with his second solo album "Creative Commerce" to continue his hot streak.A1 Creative Commerce A2 Yesterday At Midnight A3 Word Got Around Rap [Featuring] - Dumi Right , Micthefinite A4 A Month Of Sundays A5 You Know Where To Find Me A6 Let It Be A7 No Can Do Rap [Featuring] - Prince Po A8 Drive B1 Malpractice B2 Louder B3 Dynasty Rap [Featuring] - Blame One , Shed Light B4 Just Me B5 A Curious Mind B6 W Pt. 2 B7 Man Overboard B8 Yesterday Retold
