We know its the long weekend and what better way to end it with a performance by Canadian Hip-Hop icon SHAD!!! Shad has quickly become one of Canada's most respected young artists - period. His highly anticipated 3rd full-length album, titled TSOL, hits stores on May 25th, So come by the store and get it a day early.Fans can expect more of what Shad does best on his forthcoming release. TSOL is a carefully crafted mix of hard-hitting, clever rhyme schemes and soul searching social commentary, but it also exudes a new confidence from Shad, who the National Post praised as "Canada's Best Rapper" in 2008. Shad's sophomore record The Old Prince (2007) was received with top reviews by music critics across the board, snagging him a Juno nomination for Best Rap Recording of the Year and securing a spot on the coveted Polaris Music Prize.
