Introducing: Shad

Earlier in the week I caught up with legendary House producer Richard Earnshaw, but now it’s time for Canadian MC, Shadrach Kabango, better known as Shad. Throughout the past 5 years he has released 3 rather special Hip-Hop albums since winning $17,500 from the 91.5 The Beat’s Rhythm of the Future talent competition, during his time at University.
