I actually started this post by writing something along the lines of “we don’t just blindly post anything Shad puts out”, but had to start over once I realized that is pretty much exactly what we do. Oh well, I’m pretty sure that if you’re even remotely familiar with Shad’s canon, you’ll hardly blame us.(…)
I must admit I’m not familiar with The Procussions actual music. I’ve heard the name mentioned plenty of times, usually in fairly reverential terms by underground hip hop enthusiasts.

This here video is the epitome of Friday Fun – Shad’s new video for It Ain’t Over, his Lenny Kravitz-sampling gem from his last EP, the fantastic Melancholy and the Infinite Shadness.

Granted I thought of saving these songs for the next edition of the Rap-Sack Backpack, which is named for and inspired by Maestro himself, but I couldn’t wait.(…)
It’s been a few months since we’ve posted an edition of the Rap-Sack Backpack, our Maestro-inspired rundown of the recent Canadian hip hop singles, videos and other such things that we’re sent.
