This book is 🔥🔥

wow! just wow! if you haven't listened to the album, you need to go listen to it now. after listening to the album (which is fire), and then reading/listening to this book, I now have a deeper understanding and appreciation of every song. Also feel like I have a new understanding of the author! Love how he broke down every song and meaning. It opened up an understanding of who Rashad is and what he stands for. . Amazing and inspiring for sure! Highly recommending both the book and the album to everyone

Shadcore, a triple threat!

Reading (listening) to the stories behind the song titles were genuis! I laughed, smiled, walked down memory lane, and had some true proud moments! Shadcore is an amazing rapper by himself, but he has taken my respect for him and the art to another level!! I had no idea so much thought and voice and style considerations were involved. And the story lines were real life, not just a bunch of words thrown together and called a rap. Shadcore is articulate, attentive and assiduous!! A triple threat!

Awesome Book

Great tie in for the album as well if you read the book it makes the album that much better!!! FYI Shadcore this is ya boy Leethal I accidentally purchased on a friend of mines account.
