"The Rehearsal" Mixtape COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I have been producing since I got my first keyboard back in '99 and fell in love with it. I will always be a producer first and foremost so for all you artists out there looking for a new sound, get at me. I've been writing since I was 13 starting out with poetry. I experimented with writing Hip Hop and R&B songs and was told I had a talent for it. After a few years of learning more about how to put together a song, I began writing songs to music. In 2000, I co-founded the duo Lyricist & Rashade and we dropped our first project "2 Keyboards & A Beatbox" later in 2002. In 2003, I also co-founded another group known as Triple Threat which fell through but never stopped me from my goal. A few months later, I decided to go solo and finished my first solo album "I'm Here" the next year in the summer of 2004. After grinding as a solo artist and reaching out to new artists to work with, I met up with an old friend you might know as Fiziks. After doing a few tracks with him, we grinded hard to earn our spot at Abayomi Cassell Entertainment as solo artists. After working so much together and grinding in the studio, we decided it was time to do a group project together which eventually gave birth to the group L. Ement. Now that we are caught up to the present, you know my history and now it's time to know my grind.As a producer, I'm a threat. I’m not known for having a specific style or kit to tell that you have a Rashade track. When you get something from me, it’s guaranteed to be different and unique. I'm an easy person to get at so if you need a track hit me up but know that if you don't bring what I feel is what music needs right now (which is simply lyrics with a purpose), then don't waste your time because I can't support you. As a lyricist, I bring versatility to music. I can go from keeping it popping in the club to painting a picture of some of the hardest things people (myself included) can experience in life. If you really want to know more, check out the music because it explains it all.UPCOMING PROJECTS: Rashade--The Rehearsal Mixtape, Rashade--The second solo album "Grand Stage", L. Ement--Debut Album Coming Soon, Fiziks--Debut Album Coming Soon, RocRaid--Debut Album in the Works

My Interests

Member Since: 1/10/2005
Band Website: COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Band Members:I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics

Influences: I'm a producer first and foremost so when it comes to producing, I love beats that tell a story. The best people out now doing that are Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, Timbaland, The Neptunes, DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, and Brian Cox. I can respect the talents of The Runners, DJ Toomp, Cool N Dre, Swizz Beats, Scott Storch, Mannie Fresh, The Heatmakerz, and Lil Jon. When it comes to lyricists, no one could put words together the way B.I.G. could but at the same time no one could tell a story and deliver a message the way Tupac could so those are my top 2. Those that I really look up to and make me want to step my game up are Jay-Z, Cassidy, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Kanye West, Jadakiss, Common, Talib Kweli, Lil Wayne, Juelz Sanatan, T.I., and Snoop Dogg. There are many others that I have mad respect for but these are the ones that stick out to me.
Sounds Like: I've heard a little bit of everything. I've heard T.I. to 50 to Twista. In my honest opinion, I'm like no other. You can't build something by taking away from something that's already built.
