Dope sounding stuff right here, Rasheed Chappell presents a strong package of beats & rhymes on "Future Before Nostalgia". This album is here to remind you of the raw, classic sound of Hip Hop, one which is addictive and filled with deep lyrical content from a talented lyricist over dirty breakbeat, sample-laced sound from a sole producer. Kenny Dope handles the bulk of the production, digging deep in the crates to bringing raw emotion out of his collages of samples while Rasheed brings a fine balance of introspective writing about life while flexing impressive skills on the mic throughout.
