Archive material and source history
Shad Kabango started rapping as a teenager in Ottawa, inspired by artists like Nas and Outkast. He put out his first mixtape, 'When This Is Over,' in 2003. His second album, 'The Old Prince,' came out in 2007 and got people's attention with its thoughtful lyrics and production.
He followed that with albums like 'TSOL' in 2010 and 'Flying Colours' in 2013. A song from that period, 'FreeZeTyler,' addressed a police shooting in Toronto and stirred conversation. Other tracks like 'A Good Name' and 'At The Same Time' show his range.
Shad kept writing and released 'Adult Conversation' in 2018. He's known for his wordplay and for tackling social issues in his music, though some listeners have found his approach too heavy. He works at his own pace, putting out records when he has something to say.
