Shadrach Kabango (born 1982), known professionally as Shad, is a Canadian hip hop musician.
Born in Kenya, of Rwandan parents, Shad was raised in London, Ontario. His mother worked in London as a hospital lab technician; his father, as a machinist. He attended London Central Secondary School.
His debut album When This Is Over (2005) was self-made, financed with the $17,500 he won from 91.5 The Beat's Rhythm of the Future talent competition during his time as an undergraduate student at Wilfrid Laurier University. The album is recognized for lyrics deprecating the typical rap scene and focusing on social causes—for example, the track "I'll Never Understand" examines the Rwandan genocide and includes poetry written by his mother, Bernadette Kabango.
In 2007, he was signed by Black Box Recordings and released his second album, The Old Prince. In 2008, The Old Prince received a Juno Award nomination for Rap Recording of the Year, and was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.
Music critics have compared his style to that of K-os and of Common, and also to a "London (England) sound circa 1990".
Shad is bilingual, speaking English and French. He holds a business degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. He is studying part-time towards a master's degree in liberal studies at Simon Fraser University.

My favorite rapper based off current material. The Old Prince is the best album to come out in the last three years. Dude oozes charisma, humor, depth, wordplay, concepts, etc. etc.

I was THE first person at RHHF to find this guy!!
His music is really inspirational to me. Dude is like a breath of fresh air.
I put all of my friends at school onto him and they all love him. He reminds me of Gift of Gab in a way because of his multies.
