Flying Colours

Flying Colours is the fourth album by Canadian rapper Shad, released on October 15^th 2013 through Black Box Music.

In a conventional Shad fashion, Flying Colours delves primarily into introspective and socially conscious themes. In an interview with The Come Up Show about the project, he stated:

Is it worth it to try, even if you fail? I don’t know. That’s a heavy question, and I think questions like that and ideas like that were what inspired this album, what kept me stimulated and gave me a lot to think about and write about.

Music videos for “Remember to Remember”, “Stylin” and “Fam Jam (Fe Sum Immigrins)” were published via the thefacultyof YouTube channel. A week prior to the release of Flying Colours, Shad also did a track-by-track breakdown for the entire album with CBC Music.

The album was well received by critics, with the likes of SoundVat and Ear Milk. It peaked at #9 on the Canadian Albums on Billboard charts.
