Shad hasn't ever really gotten much discussion on here I think, but he has a new album coming out soon, and a new video single with a fun little spinoff of Black Excellence :)

so I'm excited for a new album, although I'm not super into this new track on first listen
3035054, the title tracks (TAO parts 1-3) are the standouts for me

3035058, I thought it was a fun idea for a song, and a nice simple video

There were some other singles as well, but it is out now as mentioned above.

The Tao's do stand out, and feel the most conventionally Shad like tracks. He did seem to go for something a bit different stylistically in other cases on this album than his old stuff.

I should probably give Short Story about a War more spins, I never really played it out as much as I did TSOL or Flying Colours. I appreciated what he was going for but never really dove into the concept.
