Born in Kenya to Rwandan parents, Shadrach Kabango (or Shad) got his big break when he won a Canadian station's Rhythm of the Future contest which allowed him to finance his debut record, "When this is Over." Fast forward to 2008 and his new album "The Old Prince," and it's easy to say that he's come a long, long way, baby. The new record is full of old-school samples, political rhymes and more fun than you're gonna know what to do with.


Check out The Old Prince Still Lives at Home, off Shad's new cut The Old Prince.

 
The megabrain station computer at WRNC has come down with a nasty, nasty virus. As much of our syndicated programming (Democracy Now!, FSRN, etc) relies on a healthy computer to function, there may be unplanned and unannounced changes to our programming for the next few days while the infatigable IT staff operate on our electronic staffer. We apologize for any inconvenience!
