Great new track from Canada’s best kept hip-hop secret, Shad. Here’s the official blurb:
After hitting the road promoting Shad‘s latest, Flying Colours, longtime touring partners, Shad and DJ T.Lo, hooked up to complete ‘Boarding Pass.’ The 5 song EP features seasoned Producer and Turntablist DJ T.Lo handling all duties on the boards with Shad exclusively on the mic. Together the pair expresses their shared passion for the music; flexing the skills they’ve been enthusiastically developing over nearly a decade of work together.
Radio rip from Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex, but I had to do it: FIYA! CDQ will be swapped in when it surfaces.
Used to support this dude back in the day when he was, I believe, signed to Shady records. Apparently he’s been on a two year hiatus and almost gave up doing music altogether but now he’s back and, based on these recent tracks, he hasn’t missed a step. Agree?
Listen, if you hate the fact that NYC MCs apologetically rap in a Southern style nowadays and are winning has become a… erm, fact of life, well there are other options for you out there (as I learned this morning!)
What is there to say about this track? It’s Meek Mill, Future and T.I. The fact that it’s a banger should come as no surprise.
