Shad – TSOL (album preview)
As I mentioned during this week’s SNSS recap, there’s no MC in the game today that makes me wear out the rewind button like Shad. His music represents pretty much everything I look for as a listener: skills, quality production, intelligence, and above all, truthful and genuine expression through this art form. His last record, The Old Prince Still Lives At Home, is a classic album and his new project, TSOL, drops on May 25th (at least in his native Canada…and I assume online at the least for us Americans).
I’ve been lucky enough to vibe with TSOL for a minute and it’s another flawless release from Shad. Now you can listen to it in its entirety thanks to Spinner, complete with a track by track breakdown from the man himself. What are you waiting for??? LISTEN HERE!
Oh, and if anyone out there isn’t convinced, I don’t know a soul who wasn’t an instant fan after seeing this:

wow…How I have I not heard of this man?…I have a lot listening to do
^^please go get his last album and cop this one on the 25th
I am now supremely upset I didn’t catch him when I was in Vancouver last year when he was on Warped Tour! Dangit! Listening now! Thanks for the link.
