It’s Double Cup Tuesday, which means it’s time for another post about DJ Rashad! Houston producer Wheez-ie (a.k.a. Matt Mauldin) has just started up a new label called Southern Belle, and Rashad’s newest EP, We On 1, serves as its inaugural release. The four-track EP is one of Rashad’s more interesting takes on footwork, with a classic battle approach (“We On 1”) meeting up with some ghetto house-influenced explicitness (“Come on Girl,” “Do It Again”) and a refreshingly fun, bumped-up BPM angle on its Chaka Khan-flipping final track, “Somethin’ Bout The Things U Do.” DJ Spinn, DJ Manny, and Gant-Man assist throughout too, ensuring all that high-grade studio kush gets properly translated into the recordings.
We On 1 is out on vinyl April 28 and digitally May 13. Listen to the full EP courtesy of FACT and Southern Belle:
Meanwhile, DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn, and Taso give Snoop Dogg & Dam-Funk the TEKLIFE treatment on their 7 Days of Funk track, “Do My Thang.” You can check that one here.
