Hailing from London, Canada; Shadrach Kabango is one of those artists that you just can't really understand why he's been flying under everyone's radar for so long. Really, there aren't too many artists bringing this caliber of quality in 2007. This simply fulfills those holes that a lot of underground rap has in it. Comparatively, Shad stems from the vein of the Native Tongues and other like-minded collectives. Notably, the album contains stellar production, infectious hooks, solid structure, and quality choruses. Above all, Shad brings highly introspective lyrics with an unmatched consciousness and sheer wit that sets him apart from his peers. His philosophy on life, and hip-hop are consistently alluring, and never fails to entertain with a great sense of humor. "The Old Prince" is the complete package - definitely a modern day masterpiece.
