Ill Adrenaline Records is proud to announce the long awaited instrumental version of "The Element of Surprise" by Rashad & Confidence! The debut album by the back then totally unknown MC/producer duo was already released in November 2011... In the meantime Ill Adrenaline Records dropped underground smash albums and singles by Beneficence, Purpose & Confidence, Tragic Allies & Tragedy Khadafi, Da Beatminerz, Neek The Exotic, The Legion and The Purist & Roc Marciano. And, in the meantime "The Element of Surprise" by Rashad & Confidence became an internationally critically acclaimed album, considered as an instant classic by hip-hop heads worldwide. Push the play button and listen closely to the deep and soulful, but still hard hitting boom-bap beats of "The Element of Surprise", and get taken back to a time when hip-hop only produced classic albums.

My very first beat tape of my original production. Bevel presents: Rashad Hayes "Gold: Vol. 1". This is my first volume in an ongoing culture campaign with Walker and Company, the company behind Bevel and now FORM. The brand represents Black ownership & creativity in making health and beauty simple for people of color. I immediately jumped at the opportunity of creating music for the Bevel brand, which aims to authentically serve us while delivering top-notch products, easy functionality & amazing aesthetics. 

Gold Vol. 1 explores the concept of forward progress while also keeping true to the core values of the Black experience through. It's the perfect marriage of hip-hop and ultimately, legacy. 

On this beat tape, I've got my very first song with outstanding Rawkus vet Punchline as well as my very first remix of one of my favorite songs by legendary 90's group Total. I'm ecstatic to present this in conjunction with Bevel as we launch continue forge an ongoing creative partnership and I’m humbled & excited to launch my production career. Black Expression is truly a lifestyle. :) Tracklisting below. I urge everyone listening to head to www.GetBevel.com. Our campaign will be launching there. - Rashad Hayes

Mixes

BlackMeansForever (Gold)

We had a great response to our last Biggie mix so we moved Big Poppa to the front of the line for an encore performance. This time we’re spotlighting “Party and Bullshit”, his debut single off the soundtrack to the comedy film, Who’s The Man? We’ve paired his distinctive flow with “Calling The Shots”; a hard funk groove with tough afrobeat horns courtesy of German ensemble, The Mighty Mocambos. Enjoy!

Note: We’re going to be working on other music projects for awhile so the funk mixes will be coming out less frequently; hopefully bi-weekly instead of our frenetic weekly pace. Thanks for the continued support and encouragement! It definitely makes a difference ;-)

Source Material:
BIG “Party And Bullshit” (Party And Bullshit 12” | 1993 | Uptown Records)
The Mighty Mocambos  “Calling The Shots” (The Future Is Here | 2011 | Legere Recordings)
