Parallel World is the fifth studio album by Cadence Weapon, nee Roland Pemberton, released April 30, 2021.[1] The album was the winner of the 2021 Polaris Music Prize.[2][3]
The album is marked by political themes about Black Canadian life and experience.[4] Pemberton described the concept as being told with a "journalistic lens" that was largely inspired by watching the George Floyd protests in 2020.[3]
