Our Take

Forget about war-torn countries, Shad's latest album "A Short Story About War" is a battlefield of genre-bending beats and thought-provoking lyrics. The Canadian rapper effortlessly weaves in and out of topics ranging from political unrest to personal introspection, creating a musical landscape that is as complex as it is captivating.

From the opening track "Intro: Sniper" to the closing number "Outro: Revolution", Shad showcases his poetic prowess and storytelling skills with precision. His flow is sharp and his rhymes are razor-sharp, cutting through the noise of the industry like a hot knife through butter.

But what truly sets Shad apart is his ability to inject humour and wit into even the most serious of subjects. Tracks like "The Fool Pt 1 (Get it Got it Good)" and "The Fool Pt 2 (Water)" are not only catchy, but also serve as a reminder that laughter can be a powerful weapon in the fight against injustice.

Overall, "A Short Story About War" is a triumph for Shad, solidifying his status as one of the most innovative and skilled rappers in the game. So, grab your headphones, sit back, and let Shad take you on a musical journey that is equal parts chaotic and beautiful. Trust us, you won't regret it.
