Rasheed Chappell is a 44 year old MC from Passaic, New Jersey who’s been making music for a little over a decade now. He just dropped an EP produced by 38 Spesh this past spring called Ways & Means but to follow it up, Rasheed is enlisting Buckwild for his 3rd full-length album.
The opener “Tour Bus” with Che Noir & 38 Spesh finds the trio comparing Trust Gang to the Wu over a piano instrumental whereas the title track is essentially Shannell Griggs rapping from a penitentiary phone line. The song “Rock Bottom” with Ransom sees the 2 talking about the struggle over a melancholic instrumental while the track “Mass Media” takes a jab at news outlets over a boom bap beat with a sample kin to “#OkBye” off of KXNG CROOKED’s 2011 EP Million Dollar $tory.
The song “Crime & Punishment” talks about never letting down over a harp-inflicted instrumental while the track “Bredren” with Planet Asia sees the 2 flexing their prowesses over a soulful beat. The song “Dyckman” with The Musalini finds the 2 getting romantic over an instrumental with some beautiful vocal harmonies & after the “Post Game” skit, “The Blue Hood” tells the story of a corrupt cop over some demonic string sections. The penultimate track “C.E.O. Shug” talks about how “everybody can’t go” over a glistening beat & then closer “Black Owned” talks about doing it himself over a grim instrumental.
Personally, I think this is Rasheed’s finest body of work to date. The concepts that he brings to the table all come in together like an audio documentary series as Buckwild provides him with some suiting soundscapes.
Score: 7/10

Black Owned” is the stylish, gripping new video from the New York area duo of Rasheed Chappell & Buckwild, who are gearing up for the Nov 20 release of their collaborative effort, Sinners & Saints.
The full-length project arrives after the two worked together on the renowned producer’s stand out compilation LP, Fully Loaded which dropped this summer. And without giving too much away, S&S is absolutely packed with everything you’d want from this emcee and producer team. You can get a strong sense of that on “Black Owned,” the hard-hitting debut leak that has some equally tough visuals to match.
The video is directed by Edwin Decena, an acclaimed music video and independent film director who brings aboard his uniquely distinct vision. The visuals center on Rasheed as a heavyweight champ talking his sh*t over Buck’s neck-breaking production from the center of a boxing ring where he’s undoubtedly taken out any and all challengers.
Check out the visuals and head over to your preferred digital retailer or streaming platform to support. The single is also available for download via instant grat off the iTunes pre-order landing. The 11 track LP which boasts guest appearances by Che Noir, 38 Spesh, Ransom, Planet Asia and more, is also available for pre-order through Bandcamp and Amazon Music, and on vinyl and CD formats courtesy of Get On Down.
