shad - the old prince (2007)

you might remember shad from my earlier post about his first album, when this is over. well the poetic emcee is back with his 2007 follow up, the old prince.

shad's ability to ride a beat with his impeccable flow shines even more than on his debut, and his word play is definitely on point. all you common, talib, and phonte fans need to be dropping this dudes name in threads on your favorite forums. just be sure to tell em who sent ya.

shadrach kabango - when this is over (2005)

shadrach kabango (aka shad k) has what could be, the greatest influences for an emcee ever. his myspace lists two people as his influences.. morrissey and warren G. now i'm sorry, but that is just dope as hell.

you've probably never heard of shad k, but dude's got talent comparable to any your favorite emcees. blending live instrumentation with turn tables, smooth flows with even smoother melodies.. trust me, you need to be on this. he released an album last year called the old prince, but we're offering up his previous album, when this is over. this isn't the faux intellectual shit you got from your message board friends.. this is real life hip hop.
