Shad: “Flawless”
Canadian hip hop radio show (formerly) The Real Frequency recently brought one of its more popular segments, The New North, to a compilation album that features some of the best up-and-coming hip hop acts out of the Toronto scene. Notable amongst the comp’s offerings is “Flawless,” a pairing of wordsmith Shad with upstart producer Frank Dukes. The brass-inflected beat is far darker and more aggressive than anything Shad has rhymed on before (his previous work is generally marked by upbeat, old school sensibilities and heart-on-the sleeve confessionals) and he does a great job of filling the part.
