Shad has made quite the stir in the hip-hop scene in Canada from his very impressive second album The Old Prince from 2007. Shad is an emcee that you respect from the art form he clearly lays down in his music. The production on this album is definitely spectacular and when you have quality beats with an emcee like Shad its going mesh together like a cup of coffee and a joint. On the production tip is Classified, Kondrat, LaManga, Rich Kidd and features Broken Social Scene’s Lisa Lobsinger and Brendan Canning, Justin Nozuka, Relic the Oddity and Kamau. Shad's lyrics come off as effortless thoughts placed down neatly on beautifully crafted beats evoking smiles and satisfaction for fans of GOOD music. This album is beyond good and will be steady on your play list when you get your hands on it.
