Shad “Besides” Mixtape (MP3)

Check out a 26 minute mixtape of Shad guest spots, mixed by DJ TLO.

Please note: there are some explicit lyrics at around the 18-19 minute mark on “Paving the Way”.

He’s included some personal notes about each track…

Here’s a little joint I thought some fans might like; a 25-minute mix of some of the guest spots I’ve done on other projects over the past couple of years. Mixed by my man, the former DMC and Scribble Jam Champion, DJ TLO.

Be sure to check out the tracks in full if you dig! — shad
