“Every album, I’m trying to die/“The goal is ego death every time that I rhyme,” is one arresting line, among many others on Shad’s album Start Anew. It’s taken from a track called “Happiness” and for Shad it crystallizes one of the main themes of the new project. According to Shad, for a new beginning to emerge you have to be willing to discard the old way of doing things and genuinely challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone. “I decided against calling the album fear of death—a phrase you hear throughout the record. I just figured that’s not a very approachable title. But “Start Anew” to me represents the same idea – this fundamentally human thing of the difficulty we have embracing endings even though that’s often the only way to arrive at something new,” Shad says. “The new start, that positive fresh new life is right there,” he says. “But it's often on the other side of risk or even loss of some kind.”  It’s a concept that Shad has embraced himself in his musical approach and successful career. Since his 2005 debut, he’s been racking up critical and commercial acclaim, winning the Juno Award for Best Rap Recording for his 2011 album TSOL and being shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize a record 5 times. He’s also delivered music ranging from spontaneous head-spinning lyrical bars to deeply introspective concept albums complimented by consistently engaging videos for songs like “The Old Prince Still Lives At Home,” “Fam Jam” and “Rose Garden.”  Additionally, Shad has branched out as a radio show host (CBC’s q), TV host (the Peabody and Emmy award-winning Netflix docuseries Hip Hop Evolution), new wave singer alter ego (Your Boy Tony Braxton) and is also now an academic professor at the University of Toronto and Laurier.  On Start Anew, Shad’s first album in four years, he even incorporates his own studio experiments, sampling music from his own unreleased vaults which veer from house to psychedelic pop into the album’s sonic mix
