INTERVIEW: SHAD ON THE JUNE COVER OF EXCLAIM!
OK, time for a shameless plug alert. Shad’s new album TSOL dropped earlier this week and the London, ON MC is on the cover of the June issue of Exclaim! where I am the hip-hop editor. If you are looking for any specific insight into what TSOL stands for in this article written by Ryan B. Patrick, well, keep looking, as Shad’s playing his cards close to his chest.
“TSOL doesn’t stand for any one thing,” Shad says. “I just liked the sound of it. It represents the insufficiency of language to express feeling and ideas, which is why we have art.”

You can pick up the issue on the streets across the country or read it online at exclaim.ca. The issue also features interviews with B.O.B., Janelle Monae and Toronto R&B vocalist Tanika Charles.
This is awesome to see Shad get the love he deserves. This album is FIRE, one of the best albums of 2010, without question.
And Del, you were right: this Janelle Monae album IS one of the best albums of the year as well.
All we need is a Tanika Charles album and LIFE IS PERFECT 🙂
