Shad joins host Raina Douris

The late ‘90s and early 2000s were BIG for hip hop in the U.S. But up in Canada, rap wasn’t exactly the money-maker it is today – Juno Award-winning rapper, Shad, credits Drake for that sea change. On the next World Cafe, Shad joins host Raina Douris to talk about the Drake effect and how the hip hop landscape in Toronto and Canada has evolved since he got his start 20 years ago. And – We’ll hear Shad perform new music from his latest album, TAO.
