Jan 28, 2011Shad's most recent album, 2010's TSOL, builds right where The Old Prince left off, and is even more impressive.
-
Jan 5, 2011Yes, he nails those internal rhymes. Nobody's Rakim. But he earns the brag.
-
Dec 15, 2010His delivery is just as smooth and his lyrics are as slyly clever as before. Shad continues to grow as an artist and has adjusted well to his newfound success. While the old prince no longer has to live at home, he shows true leadership skills in the ability to connect with listeners.

Alternative PressDec 15, 2010Anyone with an appreciation for smartass MCs and a little of Fender-tapping would do well to give TSOL a spin. [Nov 2010, p.116]
-
Dec 15, 2010Shad's delivery and enunciation are impeccable. The only rewinds necessary are to catch lines like "hustle on the level of Barney Rubble on Red Bull." TSOL will no doubt give Shad the recognition he deserves.
-
Dec 15, 2010The result is both extremely rhythmically pleasing and a lyric sheet that rewards repeat listens, as it's impossible for everything to be caught right away
-
Q MagazineDec 22, 2010His third album shows his mic skills to be only marginally above average--though given the right vintage soul groove he can raise his game. [Jan 2011, p.138]

Mar 13, 2011Sick album, the flow is contagious and the wordplay he uses is phenomenal. Shad is Canadian born and I'll be dissapointed if he doesn't make it big.
