NJ Hip-Hop vet Rasheed Chappell shares new LP ‘Sugar Bills’ (features Rome Streetz, 38 Spesh and more)

Rasheed Chappell has just shared his new album Sugar Bills produced entirely by Cambridge producer The Arcitype. Backed by a string of singles that includes “1520”, the Ebro-approved “Mascots” and “Lullaby” featuring fellow bar spitters Rome Streetz & 38 Spesh, Sugar Bills is named after the bar in Passaic, New Jersey that Rasheed and his day-one friend would sneak into as young kids in order to catch a glimpse of the interactions between varying local adults.

As Rasheed revisits the old bar through his modern-day music, he’s embracing his unique, old-meets-new attitude and continuing to showcase his versatility even this far into his career. On stand out track “Chappell Show”, Rasheed delivers a spirited performance filled with an authoritative cadence and bar work that reflects his timeless aspirations – “Rasheed Chappell, no relation to Dave / I sell and rock change, my relation to slaves / Born in the projects, foot in the grave / When it’s all said and done, just remember my name”, he raps on the hook. This time produced entirely by The Arcitype, Sugar Bills is surprisingly sample-free despite exuding the energy of classic sample flips & scratches highlighted across tracks like “Mascots”, and serves as Rasheed Chappell’s latest full-length collaboration with a single producer – a testament to his unwavering adaptability as an emcee. Boasting features from Rome Streetz, 38 Spesh, Jasmine Lopez & others, Sugar Bills is out now.

As a veteran emcee who has carved out a lane for himself through his vivid wordplay and unmatched ability to paint pictures through his language, Rasheed Chappell has consistently showcased his storytelling abilities and tight-knit raps through various collaborations with fellow TRUST Gang artists like 38 Spesh, and his impressive string of albums, each produced entirely by a different producer ranging from Buckwild to Apollo Brown. Rasheed made a stand-out solo appearance on “Midnight Sunday” off of HOT97host Peter Rosenberg’s 2021 compilation album Real Late, and has done collaborations with an extensive list of legendary producers like Diamond D, Buckwild, Apollo Brown & Kenny Dope. After teaming up with New York producer Little Vic for the introspective album A Portrait Of last year, Rasheed Chappell is returning with The Arcitype-produced Sugar Bills, out now with features from 38 Spesh, Rome Streetz, Jasmine Lopez & others. Sugar Bills is yet another full-length lyrical showcase from Rasheed Chappell – despite its energy of classic sample flips & scratches highlighted across tracks like “Mascots”, the album is surprisingly sample-free. With Rasheed Chappell flexing his dynamic bar work & array of flows, he’s further solidifying his spot as an essential emcee in the underground Hip-Hop scene.
