Shad is set to release Start Anew this Friday, October 31 via Secret City Records, his seventh studio album and the conclusion in a trilogy of socially conscious works including 2018’s A Short Story About a War and 2021’s TAO. Today, he shares the final single from the album, “Slanted,” a track about “the proverbial ‘slippery slope’ as it plays it out specifically in terms of economic and political power.”

This year marks 20 years of Shad in music, a milestone celebrating two decades of artistic growth, impact, and innovation. Known for his sharp wit, thought-provoking bars, and versatile sound, Shad continues to share an inspired message with Start Anew – a project about embracing change, facing loss, and moving into uncertainty with hope.
