Shadrach Kabango (born 1982), known professionally as Shad, is a Canadian hip hop musician.

Born in Kenya, of Rwandan parents, Shad was raised in London, Ontario.[1] His mother worked in London as a hospital lab technician; his father, as a machinist.[2] He attended London Central Secondary School.

His debut album When This Is Over (2005) was self-made, financed with the $17,500 he won from 91.5 The Beat's Rhythm of the Future talent competition during his time as an undergraduate student at Wilfrid Laurier University.[3] The album is recognized for lyrics deprecating the typical rap scene[4] and focusing on social causes—for example, the track "I'll Never Understand" examines the Rwandan genocide and includes poetry written by his mother, Bernadette Kabango.[5][6]

In 2007, he was signed by Black Box Recordings and released his second album, The Old Prince. In 2008, The Old Prince received a Juno Award nomination for Rap Recording of the Year, and was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.

Music critics have compared his style to that of K-os and of Common, and also to a "London (England) sound circa 1990".[1]

Shad is bilingual, speaking English and French. He holds a business degree from Wilfrid Laurier University.[7] He is studying part-time towards a master's degree in liberal studies at Simon Fraser University.

Yeah - homie is dope. First caught the video 2 months ago at 4am or so and STOPPED EVERYTHING I WAS FUCKING DOING AND WATCHED/LISTENED to the video. Been a fan of his for a few years now.

The new album (released late-May 2010) is dope too. Enjoy :)

"I got this beat a long time ago and was like, 'Wow, this beat's pretty sick, it hits pretty hard.' So I just wanted to rap on it. There was no idea for a chorus. I had different ideas of where to stop the song, but eventually decided to keep going for a while. It's just fun, just rhymes about a whole range of stuff. I liked it as a phrase, how laid back it was, even though it's such a hard beat. And yeah, the rhymes go in a few directions. The Method Man line isn't a diss. I'm clarifying that officially on Spinner! That's just me rapping and going."

"KEEP SHINING"

"That was a beat by a guy named Ric Notes. Obviously there's not a lot of girls making rap music, which I think is a bit of a shame. My music isn't misogynistic, but hip hop has a very 'guys speaking to guys' tone to it. It came to mind that girls are left out of that conversation, period. I wanted to open that up a little bit and talk about a few different things that I had on my mind relating to women, and open up that conversation through my music and include women in it. That's what it's about. I tried to end each verse with something that was more universal, about people in general, and continuing to be who we are."

"I like intros. Some times it's hard to have the right song to set things up on a record in my mind. One night I was on YouTube, as usual, just listening to songs that I like. I had this idea of doing this intro with my DJ doing some cuts, and my bass player Ian arranging something. So I just recorded some ideas on piano to give Ian a sense of the vibe, and he hooked up with my DJ Terence (TLO) and they came up with something with keys, bass, strings and samples, and we recorded that. In the studio, we had the idea of adding noise and distorted guitars. Brendan Canning [Broken Social Scene] comes by that studio a lot and he came in, recorded some distorted guitars, and I was into it. I gave Terence reign with a lot of the samples; it's stuff that he and I picked out: A Tribe Called Quest, Bob Marley, the Cardigans. I don't think there's so much of a concept to this record, but I like the idea of it starting with noise and distortion and then when it ends, it's just a cappella. Very clear, just vocals, no music. I like that progression -- from a lot of noise and confusion to clear thought."


"I wanted to do something raw and clear on the 'Outro' so I thought a little short a cappella would do the trick. We also did a couple of funny studio things just to keep it interesting. There's one lyric in there that's probably my favourite one on the album, that I actually thought was a Gnarls Barkley lyric. But then, I looked it up online and realized it wasn't actually a Gnarls Barkley lyric, it was me mishearing it, and I was like, 'Nice, I just came up with my favourite lyric.' The line is 'My heroes have the heart to lose the life I wanna live,' which I thought was from 'Crazy,' but they actually said, 'My heroes have the heart to live their life out on a limb.' So, I was like, 'Well, mine's way better! I'm definitely gonna use that!' So yeah, lyrically the 'Outro' ultimately comes down to a lot of what I hope to do with music and life, and leaving it on that note."
 
Lucky 1's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNDE1d9_zZk

http://www.spinner.ca/2010/05/04/shad-tsol-new-album/


"This started as a track that [producers] Ryan [Kondrat] and John [LaManga] made with Brendan [Canning] on the chorus, and they wanted me on it with the verses. Eventually we added Lisa as well and Kamau, who's an MC that I like a lot, we put him on the third verse. In the end, it's got this lush vibe to it. 'Lucky 1's' is the chorus that Brendan came up with and was the core of the song. That chorus -- 'With luck, they'll never find us' -- was a vague idea that I had to work around, which was good for me because I could take it in different directions."

'A Good Name'

"People always say my name sounds cool and I thought, 'Hey, this could be cool. I can talk about the origin of my name and play on the idea of having a good name in terms of what that means -- like your reputation, and what my name says about my background.' So, that tune ended up working out, which is cool. The beat's by Classified and he was super cool about working back and forth with me on it."

It also includes a feature from the legendary MC and Chiddy Bang's mentor, Black Thought of The Roots.

Chiddy Bang is an American alternative hip hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The group consists of Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege, a.k.a. Proto, and Noah Beresin, better known as Xaphoon Jones.[2] both 19 who met at Drexel University, in Philadelphia, PA. Their sound is based on the fusion of hip hop and unique sample choices from alternative leaning artists such as Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit, and MGMT .

Career

In late February 2009, the popular music blog Pretty Much Amazing showcased five songs by Chiddy Bang that were on their Myspace account. Because of this, the group gained some following in the underground among music blogs and local colleges, playing a notably packed show at Swarthmore College in April 2009. Pretty Much Amazing continued to occasionally release new Chiddy Bang songs, and in November 2009 debuted the group's first free mixtape, entitled "The Swelly Express." It presented the story of the group's experiences trying to break into the music industry. The mixtape quickly gained popularity online[3] and in January 2010 the group signed a record deal with EMI.[1]

Their first commercial single, "Opposite of Adults", which samples the Brooklyn group MGMT's 'Kids' was released on February 21, 2010 in the UK. (It had previously been released online under the name "Kids" in April 2009).[4] It reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. "Opposite of Adults" was released on April 20, 2010 in the US.

On April 8, 2010 Chiddy Bang released a free mini-mixtape called Air Swell, which was used as a platform to further their name in the United States. The mixtape contains remixes and samples from some of their favorite UK artists such as Gorillaz, Ellie Goulding, Kate Nash, Hot Chip and Tinie Tempah. A studio album is slated for early September 2010.[5]

In June 2010, the group performed live at the Glastonbury Festival to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The duo also performed at the Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park on July 4 of the same year alongside Wale, J.Cole, Tinie Tempah and headliner Jay-Z on the Sunday.
