Free Download: Shad & DJ Skratch Bastid – The Spring Up EP
Emcee Shad and frequent collaborator Skratch Bastid have partnered up to bring us The Spring Up EP, a short 5-track project that serves as a prelude to Shad’s upcoming full-length album, Flying Colours. This EP features an assist from the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, and some rhymes from fellow Canadian emcee Cadence Weapon.
As always, Shad comes at full strength with his witty and intelligent wordplay, assisted by both Skratch Bastid and DJ Jazzy Jeff on the decks.
The Spring Up is the result of fortunate timing, grapefruit Perrier, a shared high school obsession with Outkast’s Aquemeni, and a couple of sessions at Skratch Bastid’s Toronto studio this April. The 5 track collection marks a moment in time for the pair; embodying the spirit of Spring.
