Canadian rapper Shad has been busy over the last few years. The Juno Award-winning artist took over as the host of Q on CBC for a year after the dismissal of Jian Gomeshi in 2015.

More recently, he served as the host for the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series Hip-Hop Evolution, which is currently streaming on Netflix. Now, it appears he’s ready to focus on his first love again — music.

On Monday (July 9), Shad shared the cover art to his upcoming album, Get It Got It Good. In the caption, he wrote, “Yes y’all, new album done … first track coming out on Thurs.”

Yes y'all. New album done. First track coming out on Thurs 🙂
