About Me |
|
| Sean Rasul is one of the latest artists to emerge from Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised on Chicago's west side (Division and Central), his journey began "back in the day," when he would freestyle with friends on inner-city blocks. He has since written countless songs and poems, and has performed spoken word pieces on stages in the United States and Japan. He has shared stages with Fat Joe, Chamillionaire, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and Geno Young. His musical and inspirational seeds have been planted as far as the United Kingdom and France, but still he maintains, "I've been around the world, but I don't feel I'm free yet!"Sean draws inspiration from his ancestors, his experiences, the successes and failures of others, places he's been, and from studying life, using that inspiration to paint a picture. Like it or not, he puts the picture on display. His success is defined by the mere fact that people are inspired or critical.In March of 2005, Sean released his debut album, "The Showcase," which was produced entirely by Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer, Madukwu Chinwah, who has also created hits for Erykah Badu, N'Dambi, and many others. The album is an inspiring effort that blends old and new school musical elements and features wonderful spoken word poetry, hip-hop, and smooth urban grooves. When listening to "The Showcase," Sean takes us on a musical and poetic journey through the hood. His soulful vocals, complimented by the outstanding production and acoustic guitar play of Chinwah, leaves the listener inspired and infected by the dose of realism that is delivered in this future indie classic.Sean Rasul is putting together material for future projects. He currently lives in Texas, which is where his record label is located. "Chicago is home, but the world is my neighborhood now," he says. "I'm still the same Brother rapping, flowing, spitting knowledge, and singing on the block; I've just got a bigger block now...and I'm on another level, ya dig?"
