Shad on Sound Session
Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on October 25th, 2010 by HyphenAnyone who has visited TAOD before knows that I’m a huge fan of Shad. Not only is he one of the most gifted MC’s around, but he’s also putting his heart and soul into his music and discussing deep, genuine emotions. I’m not sure you can ask for anything more from an artist and I’m elated to see the United States finally starting to catch on to his music.
Fresh of the American release of TSOL, Shad came to Seattle with K-Os for the first stop on their Born To Run tour. It’s only right that we recorded a little something for y’all, though I do apologize for the poor lighting and video quality. Hopefully you still enjoy our discussion covering the tour, the TSOL project, how it compares to his previous work, the intricacies of his lyrics, and more. It’s not often that I get to discuss the finer points of artistic expression/responsibility with our guests, so this was an especially fun interview to conduct. There’s much more that can be said about the issue though, so we’ll have to rekindle it when Shad’s back in town.
In the interim, enjoy the interview and be sure to cop TSOL and The Old Prince ASAP!
