On October 15, 2013, Shad released his much anticipated fourth record, Flying Colours. The album is packed with charming, quick witted rhymes mixed with soulful hooks, and is self-described as "an album about everything, as per my custom, but most of all, I wanted to explore success and failure." Thus, honest rhymes about life and social issues are entwined with clever pop culture references; a sense of gratitude and pride takes centre stage. TSOL (JUNO Award winner in 2010) was a carefully crafted mix of hard-hitting, clever rhyme schemes and soul searching social commentary, by the man praised by the National Post as "Canada’s Best Rapper" in 2008, and 2010. Shad’s sophomore record The Old Prince (2007) was received with top reviews by music critics across the board, snagging him a JUNO Award nomination for Best Rap Recording of the Year and securing a spot on the coveted Polaris Music Prize short list. Shad’s skillful wordplay and smooth flow, combined with his engaging live shows, and outstanding music videos have allowed him to develop tribes of devout fans worldwide. Shad continues to walk the humble path, appreciating the chance to share his thoughts through music.
