Shad has been kicking around the Canadian music/Hip Hop scene now for a few years, and has now started really make his mark and show everyone that he is a true artist. When you listen to this album you will notice that he doesn't rap about typical rap issues but more about the social environment that surrounds him. On this album you'll hear everything from, why he is living at home still, what's going on in the "rap scene", what he does/how he rocks shows, pretty much the stuff he is rhyming about is super clever and thought provoking. It's an album that you can't take in all at once, every time you come back to it there is something new you learn about it, and for this reason I would say that this album is at the top of my list for Hip-Hop albums, up there with Lupe and Jay-Z.
Even though this album was released at the end of 2007 it still is as fresh as it was when it first came out and it seems that it is still gaining momentum. This summer he has landed a full time spot on Warped Tour and was nominated for an Indie Award for "Best Urban Artist" but just lost to Classified (another killer hip hopper for the EAST COAST and has a new album coming out in April, so look back here for it!). There are many more but I think it's time to start the listening...
NOW, get to the listing now and enjoy, and all you kids going to Warped Tour remember to look out for at Shad, and go over say "word up" and buy all of his stuff!
