Rashad & Confidence - Desires 7" - 2019

7" - 2019 - Ill Adrenaline Records 

"Rashad & Confidence bursted onto the scene back in 2011 with their much sought after and critically acclaimed underground classic, "The Element of Surprise". Since then Rashad has been quiet while Confidence put out two more top selling albums with Edo.G/G.Dot & Born and Purpose (of Tragic Allies) along with various singles (SmooVth, Beneficence, Jaysaun, Neek The Exotic, The Legion, The Regiment, etc.). 

Eight years later, the Brooklyn/Philly duo finally reemerage with their long-awaited new single, "Desires". 

Rashad hasn't lost a step. This time around the gifted MC goes into detail the desires he has and what it takes to get there along with the obstacles he encounters, backed by Confidence's typical raw but also soulful boom-bap production. 

Hip-hop heads all around the globe have been asking for new material by Rashad & Confidence and it is a crazy coincidence that their "Desires" single drops around the same time as the brand new album by their biggest influence, Gang Starr." - Ill Adrenaline Records

Confidence - Produce What You Feel - 2018

"The evolution of Confidence started 17 years ago when he was lucky enough to get his hands on the MPC 2000xl to start creating boom bap hip hop. 'Produce What You Feel' embodies the progression and versatility of beats that will take you on a journey through different musical emotions and feelings. The track list plays like a timeline, so you’ll be able to listen to the progression of all the hours and years Confidence has put into mastering his craft. As Rashad once said, 'It takes work and focus to get heard and noticed.' " - courtesy of Confidence's Bandcamp.
