R&B crooner Rashad brings forth visuals for his Styles P-featured track “The Life” off Museum. Rashad, also a producer, is working on Stalley’s MMG debut LP slated for arrival later this year.
Earlier this year, the dopehouse teamed up with producer Confidence & Ill Adrenaline Records for a remix contest to Rashad & Confidence’s The City. The cut to be remixed is off Rashad’s debut album, The Element of Surprise produced entirely by Confidence. Since we launched the contest, we’ve received more than 300 submissions. So you can imagine it was difficult to have to narrow it down to these top 6. Some were straight trash, others were well crafted. We figured we’d let the dopehouse narrow it down further from the top 6. So, without further ado, here are the top picks. Vote after the jump. Peace to all who participated.
UPDATE (May 23rd): Voting has officially ended. We’ll tally everything up and have a new post for the winner real soon. Thanks for participating and peace to all who submitted their remixes in!
Columbus singer/songwriter/producer extraordinaire Rashad’s mixtape, Museum, is a gathering of masterpieces – much like the actual physical structure itself. Having earned his stripes contributing heavily to Stalley’s Intelligent Truck Music mixtape, that experience has allowed him to create a truly game-changing inaugural solo effort. Featuring key contributions from the likes of Styles P (“The Life”) and PA Flex (“Be True”), all songs were mixed, produced and recorded by Rashad himself. lookout for the album to release on May 21st. – LRG
Attention all up-and-coming producers! The dopehouse has linked up with the good folks at Ill Adrenaline Records for a nice little contest to remix a cut off Rashad & Confidence’s one-two punch, back to the basics album, The Element of Surprise. A personal favorite, the album gets steady burn on the iPod and proves that the one producer, one MC formula still works wonders. Check the info and grab the a cappella below, then hit the jump for info on the Prize package. UPDATE: Download link for original added; new a capella properly tagged at 90 BPM coming soon too.
2 Dope Boyz and Ill Adrenaline are pleased to present the official Rashad & Confidence remix contest! Since the duo’s critically acclaimed “The Element of Surprise” album dropped at the end of November 2011 (vinyl version scheduled to drop in April), fans worldwide have embraced the movement and the sounds these two aspiring artists have contributed to the culture. Now we’ve given producers an opportunity to remix one of the album’s best tracks, “The City.” This urban tale is filled with knowledge, wit and intellect on what it’s like growing up in the concrete jungle.

For his next visual release, Stalley puts track six off Lincoln Way Nights in motion. Featuring Rashad; who I’m hoping plans on releasing that Museum project sooner than later.
While he puts the finishing touches on his Museum project, Rashad continues to keep us at bay with new music.
