Rashad & Confidence The Element of Surprise (Album Snippets)

[MrSuspiciousPerson]

"I got what this industry lacks, well crafted flow" << Truth.

[TheMrRaug]

dope a'f

[byczy96]

True hip-hop. Respect from Poland .

[stankmaw]

Coppin from itunes right now.. amazing

[ConfidenceBeats]

@stankmaw thank you my friend. I appreciate that continued support!

[djmrnelson]

Man. I was born in the 70's so I was lucky to hear most of the early hip hop/rap music from its beginning to its golden era in the early 90's till now. I was lucky to hear albums that turned out to be future classic albums. This album hits me the same way. Jesus. If this album dropped in the early 90's, trust me, it would be debated as one of the great classics. This album is so perfectly done with no filler. The production is beautiful and the raps/lyrics are just the same.

[ConfidenceBeats]

@djmrnelson I would agree with you nelson. If this did come out in the 90's I think we would def. have a shot at being one of the top albums of the decade. Thank you for the support. More projects in the works and hopefully a follow up album as well...

[jr2101985]

Rashad sound like AZ!!!!!

[RykiOo]

Confidence, where have you been all this time? Really, you are already one of the best producers out there and i've never heard about you until a couple of months ago.

This whole album is dope, wouldn't expect something this good to come out in 2011.

Of course i bought it on amazon but it still hasn't arrived, hope it will soon.

respect from Italy

[ConfidenceBeats]

@RykiOo I've been doing my thing for a while, working on my craft and with other artists but this is my first real introduction into the game. Thank you for the kind words and for that support. I'm def. trying to keep that authentic hip hop alive. It's cats like you that help me do what I do and to continue!

[djmrnelson]

Oh man. bought this from Amazon and man..... this album is kick ass. Best album in hip hop since Little Brother's Minstrel Show. the beats have a early 90's feel but still sound so professionally produced. and the raps match the production. Where in the hell did this come from? Sad that this album wont go platinum nor will a lot of people hear of it, I will post this in my status on Facebook once a week to let people know., Thank you for a beautiful album.

[djmrnelson]

@djmrnelson go to Amazon and check my review. People, support great artist like these guys. You won't regret it.

[ConfidenceBeats]

@djmrnelson thanks kid! appreciate that support. Yes, we did come out of left field with this joint but by the end of this year, we hope to be a household name in the rap game. what's your facebook page so i can add you?

[TruheadzaNo]

Just the type of ish i been seaching for.I had to cop this.

[skittelz447]

what's the name of 1st song? :]

[TheRappingIcon]

Bought this album about a week ago and I literally did not think that it would stand out, but the replay value is just too high! You guys crafted a dope album, and you are a great producer!

[ConfidenceBeats]

@TheRappingIcon thank you my friend! i appreciate you supporting the album and dropping some nice words as well. keep letting heads know what we trying to bring to the game...

[chrisbruni]

you two definitely need to drop another album together.. i was unsure about who my favorite album of 2011 was, but this definitely takes it, a track collabo with jermiside i think would be dope as fuck, this is hip-hop at its finest... perfect rating for this album

[dadducimusik]

So I downloaded you're track Understand off 2DBZ and just tossed it on my ipod. I had it on shuffle on the train home from work, and I was like WHO IS THIS? Fell in love that very instant. Got home, looked up your album, made the purchase with no hesitation. It blew me away. It is right up there with Masters of the Universe and S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M...Just know I support you guys 100% and am going to spread the word! One Love!

[ConfidenceBeats]

@dadducimusik haha, no doubt kid. that's dope...we def. appreciate that support and you spreading the word on this type of music we're bringing to the table. that means a lot!

[SalvationOfHipHop]

@dadducimusik OMG ANOTHER BINARY STAR SUPER FAN! We have the same taste in music, I think. See what I mean, Confidence? YOU GOTTA GET ONEMANARMY ON THE NEXT RECORD I'LL NEVER STOP SAYING IT!

[SalvationOfHipHop]

This album is absolutely mind-blowing. I want you both to know that I found no other album more worthy of supporting than this one you guys have carefully crafted right here. Pure hip-hop at its finest. Brings me back to the Nas days where everything was real. Keep the music going, and keep those features to a minimum. Please don't ever break up or do separate projects. BTW, it would be GOLDEN if you could ever get One Man Army of Binary Star on a track. You would be perfect together.

[ConfidenceBeats]

@SalvationOfHipHop wow, what great words right there my brotha! that means a lot to me for real...that's why we made this to let people know that good music does still exist but just getting harder to find...we will work on bringing the masses another album next year...keep ya eyes and ears open...peace

[PianOwned]

Quality hip hop all the way through - like the flow (and sample) in the 3rd track. . .1:42

[krismin4]

I got a chance to listen. Great album. You two are a great combo! Keep it up! We need a sequel! -VoKab

[ConfidenceBeats]

Just found you guys last night and have been listening pretty much nonstop since! This is one of the best album I've heard in a very long time.

Beats, production, lyrics and flow are all just mindblowing. You guys give the best ones a run for their money.

[ConfidenceBeats]

@sebbee1231 wow! thanks kid...that means a lot, for real...appreciate the words and we def. trying to keep it moving for 2012 with another album...be on the look out, vinyl is coming end of jan as well!!

[ConfidenceBeats]

[thathug]

Glad to see that this kind of music still exists in this day & age. Brings back the feeling of the early 90's hip-hop, when legends like Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Gang Starr, ATCQ blasted the speakers. Can't wait to listen to what you guys will do next. Massive props!

[horipinoy]
