Shad is one of Canada’s most revered rappers, a peerless wordsmith who embodies hip-hop’s power to entertain and educate. Since releasing his DIY debut in 2005, the Toronto-based MC has pushed his style of socially conscious yet infectiously playful hip-hop across five increasingly ambitious albums that have received widespread critical acclaim and coverage in outlets like Rolling Stone, Complex, The Ringer, Fader, NPR, and more. To date, Shad has racked up over 30 million streams, a Juno Award for Rap Recording of the Year, and four placements on Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize shortlist. His mission to inspire and inform goes beyond his own music: a former host of CBC Radio’s flagship arts and culture program q, Shad can currently be seen talking shop with the legends of rap on the Emmy/Peabody Award-winning Netflix Original docuseries, Hip-Hop Evolution.

YEAAAAH
Put your spatulas up "Bars and BBQ's" is out everywhere now! Produced by one of my favourites @sndtrak with surgical sample recreation by the master @hifi.lo recorded by @mike_darolfi mixed and mastered by @westonbread 🙏🏿🫡
New album is DONE and coming out this Fall! It's called "Start Anew". It's inspired by the very difficult, very human challenge of confronting endings and stepping into unknown beginnings. A good 3 years in the making. @secretcityrecords
Links for the song, album vinyl pre-order, and a couple celebratory tees in bio

When This Is Over -- Super limited edition vinyl release!
Doing some fun things this year to celebrate 20 years releasing music and one is a vinyl release of my first album. This was an independent release back in 2005--just a few thousand cd's printed--but making this album was a dream come true. It still has a limited life online and I wanted it to have a physical presence again too for anyone wanting to hold onto this collection of songs.
Gonna be a very limited run so if you're keen hit the link:
