Shades Lawrence is a Montreal-born alternative hip-hop artist of mixed British, Jamaican, Irish and Scottish descent. Honouring a tradition of spoken word, she is a pure lyricist; her words uplift, while keeping environmental justice at the forefront.
Ahead of the February 11th release of new album Trust Takes Time, Shades provides insight to a personal passion with “Infinite,” elaborating that she “strived to capture [her] love for the game of basketball, and experiences playing Division I College Basketball in the United States. That love endures through every season of the year.”
