Review

It’s Rashad needed more of the straightforward country tunes that RVSHVD does so well, and “Dope Boy,” the first single from the deluxe edition of his album, fully delivers on that. The production on this reminds me, of all things and I couldn’t be more delighted to say this, of Tanya Tucker’s “It’s A Little Too Late.”
