Words By Samir S. In 2010, Canadian rapper Shad quietly dropped one of the better albums of the year in TSOL, a concise showcase of Shad's wit, technical expertise, and [...]

What a amazing end of the year is this turning out to be, first Blu & Exile release their new EP, unexpectedly....and yesterday Shad, out of the blue, has released a brand new mixtape. "Besides" is nearly half an hour of straight goodness, a compilation of tracks that he has collaborated in over the past couple of years. As always the man never disappoints, and excels even when releasing mixtapes. Dope work, support by downloading below, is full of gems. Here's a little joint I thought some fans might like; a 25-minute mix of some of [...]
Talk about a double whammy! First we get that new Blu & Exile LP out of the blue (lulz), and now Shad drops an unexpected mixtape on the masses. With mixing from former Scribble Jam champion DJ TLO, what we have here is a feature filled teaser for what is to come from the acclaimed Toronto MC. Apparently we should expect a full retail project to drop in 2012, which is sure to live up to the high bar set with last year's T.S.O.L . Hit the skip to download the mixtape. [...]
Shad takes the floor at a recent TEDx talk in North Vancouver where he explores, as he says, "what I'm doing and why...", great insight. Shad: Website • Facebook • Twitter soulquarian14 No tags for... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Shad - Lucky 12s "But I hope to plant my seeds before I leave Believing that hope grows even in the stone cold" I am often reminded through my spotify inbox of good songs that I forget temporarily, but then always come back to. Glad I found this jewel again to. Shad is a artist born in Kenya but has a lot of French influence, which apparently has been my thing today. My next post will go more into detail why. The female vocals on Lucky 12s captures me. Shad's flow, but the [...]
Dope beats, dope rhymes, this hip-hop sh*t really ain't that hard. Enjoy this playlist of some of my favorite hip-hop tracks. Don't be quick to judge what isn't on the list, since putting literally every good hip-hop song is impossible. Enjoy! AZ - Gimme Yours Apathy - True Love (ft. Phonte) Jay Rock - Get On Your Shit [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , New Releases Jeremy Chan Photography For her sophomore effort, 'Siberia,' Canadian electro-pop maven, Lights teamed up with indie-electro band Holy F--- and Juno-winning rapper Shad . The result is a record more sonically adventurous than most were expecting given her slick, radio-ready 2009 debut. When we crashed the singer's intimate release party in Toronto, Lights told Spinner that [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Warner Music Siberia is a frozen wasteland in eastern Russia where criminals and political prisoners once endured years of hard labour in the region's infamous Gulag prison camps. It's also the title of the new album from Canadian electro-rock maven Lights. Obviously, Lights (also known as Valerie Poxleitner) never endured anything as brutal as Russian author Igor Dostoyevsky -- who spent time in a Siberian prison [...]

Shad - Rose Garden Shad - Keep Shining Shad has always taken me when I've heard him. I haven't been a big rap fan the past couple of years but with Shad, you can actually understand what he is rapping about and it's one of those few times in recent rap history where it isn't exploiting women, talking about killing or anything else that main stream rap is now all consumed by. The video for Keep Shinning, posted above, brought Shannon and I to tears a couple of times [...]
Damian Abraham (Fucked Up's ringleader) has been doing a heckuva job since becoming the host with the most of Muchmusic's "The Wedge" back in January. Doing tons of interviews with bands and airing a few specials along the way. For this one, 45 minutes is devoted to those 3 days at Parc Jean-Drapeau for the Osheaga Music Festival last [...]
Versus by Zumbi I was inspired to create "Versus" out of my love for dope, diverse music, and wanting to collab with artists that I respect. Truly..there is only I vs. I. This is my offering to you...the other side of myself. One. - Zumbi
Man, just as I was loosing faith in hip-hop, 2011 came along. And August? Let me tell you about August. This month was jam-packed with fresh tunes, and I'm not just talking about hip-hop. While this podcast is only 17 tracks long, there is absolutely no filler. Expect to see everything on this month's edition from El-P and Danny Brown to Hudson Mohawke and Sonnymoon. As usual, Theodore Taylor has provided us with stunning artwork to go along with the mix. Stream the mix and download it after the skip. [...]
Le trio féminin The Three Degrees s'est formé en 1963 à Philadelphie, et bien que peu médiatisé (première apparition télévisée en 2003) et peu connu du grand public, il a traversé les décennies faisant se succéder une douzaine de femmes jusqu'à leur dernière apparition scénique en 2007. C'est Sheila Ferguson , Helen Scott et Valerie Holiday qui reprennent le titre du chanteur country Joe South "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden" en 1970, morceau mainte fois repris par la suite dont la version [...]

20082s Pemberton Festival set the tone for BC festivals. Although many smaller fests have happened over the years (the Virgin Music festival made an impact but seemingly ended here in 2009, the occasional UBC Thunderbird Stadium event) there is nothing like what the rest of the world, and the rest of Canada is used to. Last year's Live At Squamish was it's premiere, and so with the relatively young event in it's second year, MVRemix had to see how the experience fared. With the first year having Dirty Vegas, Z Trip, The Decemberists and Devo on [...]
About a month ago DJ Jazzy Jeff and Ayah dropped their highly slept on, yet absolutely fabulous collaborative mixtape, Back For More . To keep things moving with that project, the two unleash the remix of "Notorious", which features a heavy-hitting cast of hip-hoppers - Kardinal Offishall, Skillz and Shad. When Shad performed at the BK Hip-Hop Festival, he actually brought out Ayah to sing on the hook of "Rose Garden", so this little collaboration seems to make perfect sense! Let's hope that Jeff and Ayah continue to work together, the product has been flawless [...]
