Shane Eagle Reveals “Never Meet Your Heroes” Album Tracklist In Jagged Graffiti. South Africa’s restless storyteller has revealed the full tracklist for Never Meet Your Heroes, pairing stark silhouettes with a frenetic, hand-rendered type that reads like fresh graffiti.
The titles are written in a blood-red, jagged script with uneven strokes and dripping edges, giving the artwork the feeling of a private manifesto scratched into a city wall. The sequence reads like a journey through myth and memory.
It opens with “INTRO” and the spiritually charged “Son of Yahweh,” moves into high-energy calls such as Ride Out! and Lil B, then slows for reflective stops like “After the Heartbreak” and “My Daughter’s Hand.” Mid-album entries like “Matrix II: Quay Rage,” “Praise God,” and “Let There Be Light” suggest the record will weave theology, street bravado and Shane Eagle‘s reckoning.
Darker corners such as “Blasphemy,” “Wolves”, and “Holy Fire” promise edge and urgency, while titles like “Apple Tree” and “Maryland” hint at rooted stories and place. Visually, the cover is striking. Silhouetted figures and animal forms drift across a textured grey field as if seen through fog, while the red script stitches the scenes together like fresh scars.
The overall effect is tribal meeting urban, ancestral shapes confronting modern unrest, which fits an album that asks listeners to question their idols. SA Hip hop Fans will be watching the clock. Shane Eagle has pegged the release for midnight on 7 November 2025, and social feeds are likely to light up the second the album drops.
