Cadence Weapon + Dan Only – “Ungirthed” (Purity Ring Cover)

February 28, 2025

Electro-rap stalwart Cadence Weapon kicks off 2025 with another electrifying single, covering Purity Ring‘s “Ungirthed.” An internet fave since the mid 2000s, Cadence burst onto the scene with Breaking Kayfabe and has been making notable music since then – even turning out 2 LPs in 2024. “Ungirthed” showcases Cadence’s lyrical prowess and his ear for electronica, creating a single that feels equally at home with his early work of the late 2000s and in 2025. And probably in 2035. Joining Cadence on the track is noted Torontonian producer Dan Only. Only rebuilds “Ungirthed” with glitchiness and catchy blips, and will challenge your equilibrium with the panning in its bottom half. Fit this song into your rap and electronic playlists. Check out “Ungirthed” on Spotify and catch more from Cadence and Dan on their profiles.

April 19th marks the 20th year human beings have been able to buy and/or steal Nas’ seminal album Illmatic. To celebrate the glory of himself, the MC has launched a multi-city tour, which you are doubtless aware of if you found yourself pondering your life’s ambition at Coachella over the weekend. Illmatic XX, a reissue of the 1994 record featuring freestyles, remixes, and demos will be out April 15th, or tomorrow as we like to say around here. This will then be followed by a documentary chronicling the making of the Greatest Hip-Hop Record of Forever and Always titled Time is Illmatic, which I guess can loosely be defined as an admission that everything Nas has done since 1994 exists on the spectrum between abject shit and could-be-worse. As an artist, he has offered little of value in a modern world where everyone has a favorite Jay-Z song but can’t even think the name[...]
