Rahsaan - Sneaker Store Terrorist
Artist: Rahsaan
Producer: Needlz
Album: Fly-Paper
Label: FORTUNE Ent (Indie)
Born and raised in Brooklyn, but currently living in Miami, rapper Rahsaan has found himself a seat on a therapist’s couch for his debut single. What might his problem be? The 28-year-old has an impulse to buy all the freshest and most expensive shoes (sometimes right after he’s just purchased a different pair), hence the title of his new record, Sneaker Store Terrorist. In search of some strong production accompaniment, Rashaan has hooked up with highly-regarded East Coast producer, Needlz, who delivers with a club and street-appropriate beat. Look for Sneaker Store Terrorist to add some much-needed freshness to an industry already run by product anthems.

I love how Rashaan flipped this concept. If you don't buy shoes, or don't have an appreciation for solid underground hip-hop, you won't like this. Hell, Rashaan knows this won't get played on the radio. But do NOT sleep on NEEDLZ production (do your homework people)... simplistic beats are back yo.

The beat sounds like a late 90s Neptunes joint. Everyone making shoe joints lately. I guess that trend is about to make a comeback to replace popular music's obsession with candy and food analogies. This production by Needlz is decent. I've heard better from him (like 50 Cent's "God Gave Me Style" or Lupe Fiasco's "Hurt Me Soul"). Rahsaan doesn't suck, but he's not that great either. I'll toss it in rotation.

Needlz does a nice job on the production. The bell-like chime brings me back to the late 80's. I like the lyrical approach by Rahsaan on this LP.

Urban streetwear is my second love next to hip-hop and this is borderline hypebeast.

I don't know this guy but he is cute! Anyway I love shoes but not the most expensive...this is a weird addiction for a boy, normally girls have 1000 or more shoes lol! I like the beat and his flow, but I'd like him to sing some parts! After a while the song gets boring...it's ok

Something about a man being addicted to buying sneakers. I don't know. Maybe I'm old fashioned and I just don't get it. GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!
