First Brick

[Machine Translation] Eight years after his first album "FUTUREBEFORE NOSTALGIA," which made heads go crazy, the noble NYC/New Jersey based rhymer RASHEED CHAPPEL has released his long-awaited second album. The 10 tracks on this album are all Kenny Dope work, of course, and are full of funky drum breaks in the Kay-Dee manor that is known for its thick sound. DJ Scratch continues his participation on this release, and other guests such as O.C. of D.I.T.C. and Lil Fame of M.O.P. are also hot. The combination of the meticulous lyricism that goes back to his roots and the unique high-tone, yet stable, flow of the album, gives the album a masculine funkiness that only this special tag team could have achieved. This album is sure to become a cult classic that will leave its mark on the indie scene!

ヘッズを狂喜させた1stアルバム『FUTUREBEFORE NOSTALGIA』から8年。NYC/ニュージャージーを根城にする気高きライマーRASHEED CHAPPELによる待望の2ndアルバムをリリース。今回も勿論全曲Kenny Dopeワークで贈る珠玉の10トラックは、図太い鳴りがウリのKay-Deeマナーなファンキー・ドラムブレイクが目白押し。更に御大DJ Scratchも前作に引き続いて擦りで参加し、ほかにもD.I.T.C.のO.C.やM.O.P.のLil Fameらゲスト陣もアツい。自身の原点に立ち返ったという綿密なリリック、ハイトーンながら盤石の安定感をみせる独特なフロウも相まって、このスペシャル・タッグにしか成しえない男気ファンクネスをビンビンに感じさせてくれる仕上がり。今作もインディー・シーンに名を残すカルト・クラシック化間違いナシ!
