Shad & 14KT (CAN)

The pair, having met at DJ Jazzy Jeff’s iconic Playlist Retreat years prior, connected over freestyles Shad was doing on Instagram two or three times a week for 10 weeks as a challenge he had given himself to celebrate Hip Hop’s 50thanniversary. 14KT started crafting a beat for one of the freestyles online, and the project eventually took shape and birthed Reel Speakers.
