Shad is a Toronto-based, Kenyan-born rapper who I have become absolutely obsessed with. Why? Because he is absolutely dripping in talent, and positivity. His lyrics are insightful, intelligent, and awesome.
His latest single, which samples from the Lynn Anderson song Rose Garden, is nothing short of incredible and I applaud the raw wisdom that he seems unashamed of sharing in his music. And, he’s hilarious as evidenced by some of his earlier material (which you should also have a look at).
Is that not enough for you? Should be.
PS: I’m buying a pair of those shoes, Maria!
Nice.
I have now watched this video three times. It’s amazing. My first comment was wildly insufficient. Shad *is* hip-hop in my universe.
I had a feeling you’d be back for more. Just a feeling.
Have you watched any of his other videos? Many are very excellent as well.
