Raashan Ahmad
List Price: $12.98
Price: $11.99

Product Description
"...this album is a return to basics, that good ol' boom bap, the beats and rhymes. I needed to get in touch with the other side of me, the side of me who loved Run DMC, BDP, and the 808 Machine. It was where I started as an MC and I needed to touch that again...This is a non-collaborative effort born out of my own fears, insecurities, observations, triumphs, and tragedies. It is therapy over beats" - Ahmad. "Mixing positive messages and live instrumentation, Raashan Ahmad brings forward thinking hip-hop to the masses" - Billboard.
Beatsauce Radio

Fashion
Lion and Rooster
A collaboration of two very unique individuals, from different backgrounds, meeting by chance (possibly fate) to create an artistic rebirth in the clothing world. The lion and rooster being respective kings of their own environments, they represent the Yin and Yang of the domesticated and the untamed. The ability, regardless of your surroundings, to adapt and excel beyond the average.
