Shad - Now A Daze
Someone sent me an email the other day (I think his name was EZ but am not sure) about checking out Shad from Toronto and I am REALLY glad I did. Check out this video and the freestyle below, he easily is one of the best conscious rappers out there doing it and I love [...]

On a Quest for Glory, On a Quest for Glory

May 27, 2009, 9:23am London, ON: Burgeoning Metropolis
On a Quest for Glory, On a Quest for Glory I've definitely mentioned Shad a number of times, sang the praises of the Polaris Jury for including the Old Prince on the 10 album short list, and complained when Andorra won over it. Not that I necessarily thought that it was the most deserving album, at the time... I suspect you see where I'm going with this... I'm not sure that I'd quite go as far as arguing that it was the album with the most "artistic merit", although I typically equate artistic merit with weirdness [...]

Toronto's Shadrach Kabango!

Dec 12, 2008, 8:02pm BBQCHICKENROBOT.com
I musta watched Shad's The Old Prince Still Lives At Home video atleast 10 times at work today. It's done so well, not to mention Shad's dope story telling rhymes. And y'all will probably be surprised how "accurate" this video is. If you haven't heard his '05 debut When This Is Over or his '07 sophomore The Old Prince , you gotta go pick those up. Get'em Here . Be on the look up here for a tour hopefully soon, and more deets about his '09 release droppin earlier in the year. [...]

A Final Thought on the Polaris Prize

Oct 8, 2008, 9:46am London, ON: Burgeoning Metropolis
There have been some luke warm reactions to Caribou winning the 2008 Polaris Prize (see: here , here , and here ). And, really, I find its pretty tough to disagree with that pick particularly when the word 'artistic' as in "the albums of highest artistic integrity" is the criteria used to pick the prize. To me, what this 'artistic integrity' means is that the winning album should push some kind of boundaries... so with that in mind, albums by Basia Bulat, Two Hours Traffic, Stars, etc. should be struck from the group.

Shad - The Old Prince

Sep 19, 2008, 3:04pm Rollin' & Scratchin'
Shad - The Old Prince Wednesday night at the Mod Club marked the beginning of Toronto's annual Manifesto Festival . Each year, hip hop, R&B, Soul and Funk artists gather from all over the world to come and perform at various venues throughout our city. To kick it all off this year, local buzzed about rapper, Shad K played a headlining set from his new album, 'The Old Prince'. If you thought conscious hip hop was lost and dead, think again. This guy reminded me of the days when I used to [...]

I'm back, Baby!

Sep 1, 2008, 8:05pm London, ON: Burgeoning Metropolis
I'm back, Baby! I'm back, I've moved, etc... I'm hoping to get to see a few more shows, which, I suspect will be much easier considering Toronto is, well, not half dead; also, I'm not working 60 hours a week. So, if you live in London (Ontario) and were following the site for London show listings you probably stopped a while ago, but, I'll start posting some Toronto shows I'm thinking about seeing. Starting with: Shad @ the Mod Club September 17 Plants and Animals @ the Horseshoe September 18 Two Hours Traffic [...]
