For as many times as I've seen Shad perform there have been new incarnations of his performance. And so the emcee was true to form for the VIP performance at Wrongbar. Ever-energetic Shad took to the stage with his authentic raps and confidence that refrains from being cockiness. The expected assortment of tracks were thrown down with 'my man DJ T-lo on the ones and twos and Ian Koitus on holdin her down on the bass'. Didn't take long for the first blip, in the form of a cameo by Lisa Lobsinger of BSS and Marge-Simpson-hair-lookalike fame. She sang on Rose Garden but unfortunately for all her mic was real low or even off, but at least we got got see her pretty face. In the vein of Telephone from last year's TSOL, Shad dropped a new track that sampled rings and dial tones, calling this one Cell Phones. (Speaking of Rings, Diamond was spotted in the audience sans makeup but with that signature 'do). In other musician news Grand Analog stole a mic to throwdown his Shad-featuring tune that allowed music to make the world go round and stuck around for The Old Prince Still Lives at Home. The intensity never waned as one track was spit completely from the floor and power tune We, Myself and I pushed the decibel level in the capacity club. So thoroughly had he entertained us that he had to scrape the bucket for his encore but it was no B-side as he cracked out a brand new tune that met the bar that Shad has loftily set for Canadian hiphop.
Opener: Miracle Fortress
