Rashad Street Drops The Corner Store Vol.1 Today


Friend of the blog Rashad Street is having a good weekend. Not only is it his birthday today, he's celebrating by releasing an all new project, "The Corner Store." Rashad Street stays busy, even on his birthday.

We chopped it up with Rashad this week, and talked about the new project, even newer projects, switching up genres. Read below. And then go download some new music.


What's up the new release? I hear it is totally different from other things you have put out?

Yeah it is! The Corner Store Vol. 1 is a collection of instrumentals that I've conducted.

What motivated you to release an all instrumental record? Can your fans expect more of this kind of thing in the future?

I wanted to let the people know that I was more than an artist. Yes they can. I just released a project last month under the moniker Sleepyhead Goes To Paris. It's Dub Step, Techno, Electronica, etc. Expect more of these projects in the near future!!

I also hear you have a special project in the works with some folks from Denver. Can you let anything about that slip?

I've got something in the works with good friend & old classmate by the name of Brik-A-Brak. I can't really speak on it now, but you'll be the 1st when I do!!!

You're doing a blog now, right? How are you using the blog to fit into your overall hustle.

Yeah. www.whoisrashadstreeet.com. It's an avenue that's geared towards promoting myself & others who I feel can help generate a movement!! I want to help preserve an art that some may say is dying. To me, that's not the case. We all go through changes. I just hope that through those changes, we can see the good!!

What do you have on deck to release next? Are you switching it up again?I honestly cannot answer that at the moment!! Okay here it goes:

Rashad Street-If You Didn't Know

Rashad Street & Durdy Costello- The Big Payback: Unfinished Business

I have a few more, but you get the point...I'm working!!!
