NEW VIDEO : Shad - "Rose Garden"

The video for "Rose Garden," the second track and second video off of Vancouver-based Shad's latest album. This track features Lisa Lobsinger of Broken Social Scene (total girl crush!).

TSOL is a fantastic album, by the way, and I'm definitely hoping to see it on the Polaris list this year. Make sure you catch him touring with Grand Analog and D-Sisive over the next month.

FREE DOWNLOAD : Shad - "Yaa I Get It"

Vancouver-based hip-hop artist Shad (born Shadrach Kabango) has released the first single of his yet-unreleased follow-up to 2007's Polaris short-listed The Old Prince. It's called "Yaa I Get It" and the new album is named TSOL. Although Shad has offered up numerous suggestions of what TSOL could stand for, my favourite guess is "the sultan of love." If you've got a better one, feel free to leave me a comment!
