Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Toronto will be offering new courses on hip-hop this Fall, taught by Juno Award-winning rapper and WLU alumnus Shad. Shad was WLU’s hip-hop artist in residence last year and was asked to develop a course for the Fall 2024 semester. At WLU, Shad will teach a special course called Hip-Hop to the World that will “delve into the unique approaches to poetry, performance, and production found in hip-hop music;” At U of T, Shad will be co-teaching a course titled Hip-Hop and the City with Dr Kofi Hope. Shad said that he hopes to pass on some “gems of real world wisdom” to his students.
