Produced by Factor, Def3’s latest single, “The Truth” featuring Shad And Skratch Bastid, is one of 11 reasons his latest album, Wildlif3 has been topping the Canadian and U.S. College Radio hip hop charts all summer. After over 10 weeks in the top 10, the album recently reached #1 overall in Canada via Earshot Online Magazine and is currently #10 in the U.S. on the CMJ charts. This Canadian All Star hip-hop lineup is the perfect showcase of why these 4 are some of the most respected hip hop artists the nation has to offer. Factors’ contagious, melodic production is the perfect gateway for Def3 and Shads back to back, precision blend of brains and brawn within their verses and delivery. If that’s not enough, Skratch Bastid who handles the cuts on the track starts the song off by cutting in the classic Grand Puba lyric, ”We keep it tight and that’s the way its supposed to be” whom is also a referenced in one of Shad’s punchlines. Bastid then wraps the track up nicely with a scratch verse of his own, displaying a classic yet tasteful recipe of turntablism for all the true heads out there.
