Rasheed Chappell – ‘What I’m Here 4’ feat. DJ Scratch (Video)
February 24, 2011
Can’t say I’m familiar with Rasheed Chappell , but this joint right here is ill. Some real hip hop sh*t! The legendary DJ Scratch is on the cuts while legendary hip hop producer Kenny Dope is on the boards. The video is pretty dope too because it matches what I would have envisioned the video to look like upon hearing the song. Rasheed Chappell’s debut album ‘Future Before Nostalgia’ is to be entirely produced by Kenny Dope & if it is chock full of bangers like this joint right here then I’m looking forward to copping it when it drops later this year.
