I actually started this post by writing something along the lines of "we don't just blindly post anything Shad puts out", but had to start over once I realized that is pretty much exactly what we do . Oh well, I'm pretty sure that if you're even remotely familiar with Shad's canon, you'll hardly blame us. Latest case in point, this new jam Homie which is produced by the almighty Skratch Bastid and features a cameo from Cadence Weapon. Apparently this is from a team-up EP Shad and Skratch Bastid have ready to drop called The [...]
![Shad + Skratch Bastid – Homie ft. Cadence Weapon [audio]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4963141_lg.jpg)
"Homie" is a bangin tribute to travel and tripping back home by fellow Canadian road warriors Shad, Skratch Bastid, and Cadence Weapon. This song, along with the completed version of the demo release, "Peace", will be part of a Shad + Skratch Bastid collaborative EP entitled The Spring Up to be released online before month's end; a breezy, soulful collection completed shortly after the pair wrapped up work on Shad's upcoming full-length, Flying Colours. In addition to the Cadence Weapon guest spot, the EP will feature a production assist from Bastid's most recent touring partner, DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Two of Canada's finest MCs, Shad and Cadence Weapon , team up for "Homie", the first single off Shad's upcoming EP with producer/DJ Skratch Bastid. They're calling the project The Spring Up and apparently it's due out this month. Damn, way to sneak this one up on us, Shad! I ain't mad, though, especially considering he also has a new full-length, Flying Colours , dropping later this year. You can stream the Biggie-sampling "Homie" below. [ via ]

Three of Canada's finest all in one place, Classified, Skratch Bastid, and Saukrates are back in proper form showing us that Canadians don't need to move south of the border to make it in the rap game. Indeed, Classified and Skratch Bastid are from one of the smallest provinces in the nation - Nova Scotia is Canada's second smallest (yet somewhat paradoxically, the most densely-populated), with fewer than one million inhabitants. Classified has a new album dropping January 2013 - his major label debut, on Universal. You can cop 'Anything Goes' now on iTunes [...]

Here is some dope northern exposure for all you hip hop heads. Canada's Classified is gearing up for a new album and this is the right way to set it off.
I wanted to leave this mix to post towards the end of the year to have some sort of grand finale or retrospective mix of the year post, but i got impatient and wanted to share with anyone who hasn't checked it yet. Soul Sisters Stand Up, is a mind blowing mix put together over the course of two years by two of the most legit dj's worldwide, The Gaff and Skratch Bastid. These two dons of the turntables pay tribute to the female soul, funk and Rnb vocalists of the 602s nd 702s the right way. This mixtape is [...]

On Saturday evening, Skratch Bastid — real name Paul Murphy — hosted his annual summer BBQ at the Steam Whistle Brewery. For the Nova Scotia native, Saturday marked his second BBQ in Toronto and eighth overall — in the past, Murphy has hosted similar events in his hometown of Halifax and Melbourne, Australia.

You should read this original post on the hill by going here: Three Six Mafia vs. Dazz Band - Let It Stay Fly (Skratch Bastid Blend) Ugh, have I ever mentioned that spring in Halifax is mighty god damn depressing?
