July 27, 2005 – WLU’s hip hop celebration

Laurier business student Shadrach Kabango, or more commonly known as Shad, performed a sold out show at the Heuther Hotel Lounge. The show was put on by The Funkification Project, which generated so much buzz that it drew three WLU business professors to the audience, and provided Shad with a platform to perform his debut album When This Is Over.
