"The difference between a Supaemcee and simply an accomplished lyricist"

 

"10/10... [Shad] is a more than worthy candidate to lead hip-hop into the future"

 

"Shad’s rhythm is as tight as a metronome. He may be an amorous dreamer who still lives with his parents, but there is nothing juvenile about his lyrics and delivery. The Old Prince may not be that old yet, but he already sounds like he has perfected his art."

 

"Shad shows that he certainly earns all of the praise, critical acclaim, awards, and hype that he has garnered through this magnificent LP."

 

"Shad is Hip Hop Royalty"

 

"5N's ... one of the wittiest lyricists in hiphop"

Phil Nash f/ Shad & Skillz (Prod. by Jazzy Jeff)

I posted this on Shad's MySpace a few days back.  Not sure if y'all got to hear it yet.

Phil Nash (dope new friend from Philly) recently put out "Phil of the Future Part 2" which includes a track called "Gonna Want Me Back" featuring Skillz, our homie Shad and production by none other than Jazzy Jeff!

Check Phil's album by clicking on the image below. 

IllRoots recently put out a compilation called "A Nightmare On Your Street" with this track on it. You can preview the track and download it by clicking on the image below.

Happy Friday!

New York City

We had an incredible time (as always) in the big apple!  I'll update this post with a few pics, but I just caught this video courtesy of the good homie Ant Demby and thought I'd make a quick post before the night ends.

Shad, TLO and Ian Koiter put on an incredible show at Pianos this past Wednesday.  The room was full of great people and an incredibly warm vibe!  Thanks to everybody who made Shad's first headlining show in NYC a great success!

Shad - Freestyle (2006)

This is some old footage from Shad's 2006 performance at the Beats, Breaks & Culture festival. He was opening up for Cadence Weapon in the Brigantine Room at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre.  There were some technical difficulties with the decks in the middle of the performance, so Shad dropped a free, and I started handing him stuff that I found by the stage. 

Fun times!
