Someone sent me an email the other day (I think his name was EZ but am not sure it was Ingz in the comment section) about checking out Shad from Toronto (actually London, Ontario, my bad to all the Canadians out there) 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 being one of the first sites in America that I know of to jump on his music. I haven’t seen anything new from him but I have since gotten his album The Old Prince and it is quality song after quality song. This album is 2 years old and still beats the crap out of almost everything out today. I wish there was more music to throw up but apparently EMI Canada is stricter with embedding their videos than the NFL is with their new uniform violations policy. Enjoy the dope artwork and video up top and a ridiculous 6 minute freestyle below the break. Oh and I highly recommend you get the album here.

yes yes very glad you posted this , never heard the freestyle b4 but its FIRE. Shad actually is from London Ontario, where im from. EZ he could make it to the top 5 rappers if he keeps spittin , his f**** album got a juno haha. He also got a first album called “when this is over” , def a solid first album, just cant find it on torrents, hadda buy it on itunes but w.e. gotta support the home town artist.
“Those who know shad know that he’s on his own path, like a nomad , roamin without a road map”
There is also a hype London rapper named “Flex” but you wont find his album anywhere. mayb we could get it up on this dope ass site?I got it just dunno how 2 upload n shit. goto youtube and search ” flex- cant call it”
BIG hit in my town
ez
Ahh my bad, he is from London, Ontario, I will fix that in the post. And it was you Ingz who sent me this, thanks for keeping me up to date (or catching me up, depending on how you look at it haha). Anyways keep it coming, I loved the suggestion, I just wish I could post more of his videos.
i haven´t been here in a while because of vacation but i gotta comment on this because i´m happy your up on Shad.
You need to see his music video for The Old Prince Still Lives at Home. It is the illest video to come out in a long time (he basically spits the song while acting out the Fresh Prince opening credits in reverse order)
never heard Shad before the track is real nice and the freestyle is just crazy.
another talented dude from Ontario is DL Incognito. looks like you’ve never posted on him but he’s got 4 solid albums out, last one came out a few months ago. really smooth rapper and producer with some nice beats and conscious verses, worth a look/listen for sure.
